You'll only receive credit from EPN for the USA links if you set the US as the default.

If you want to get the referrals from eBay yourself, you should just use this plugin, but it's quite old now.

Skimlinks is another company that does this -- I've used both Skimlinks and Viglinks and find Skimlinks has been much better in every metric. One good thing about Skimlinks is that you can run it and still rewrite your own links, too. Skimlinks ignores any link on your site that already has an Affiliate code on it.

Quoted links is causing redirect loop browser page errors. Any idea how to resolve that?

You can do this with VigLink also -- but I don't use it. Reason being, if someone else posts their affiliate link, I want it rewritten so I get the credit.

Ive tried both also and VigLink does much better for me. Also VigLink is a US based company, Skimlinks is EU based.

Will this work on 4.2

A link was posted on my site today such as lodebay.com. All of their links redirected to ebay.com, even though it wasn't supposed to. I imagine this was because the domain has "ebay" in it. This appears to be a bug. Anyone have a quick fix to it? I'm willing to pay for a solution.

Thanks!

This has been a problem for a long time. But the magnitude of the problem is so small that it's a non-issue. And the way EPN is paying these days it's possible that lodebay will pay better - j/k.

It is somewhat of a big issue. I've had to disable this mod on the entire site, which generates a decent amount of revenue via EPN. How do you deal with these links? People are complaining about them redirecting to ebay, so I've had no choice but to disable this until I find a fix.

I'm going to start by saying I'm no expert, but have looked at the code for the last couple of versions.

What version of the mod are you running anyway?


When I look into the re-write it's only supposed to match things with '.ebay.'
Code:

        // check if this URL is an eBay one
        if (!strpos($parsedurl['host'], '.ebay.'))

Does your alternative URL contain .ebay. (with both dots) or is this mod searching wrong??



PS. If you are grabbing a new version to update, just remember you may need to apply this little fix back form post 334/479:

Hello

I have found the Problem

Replace in /includes/functions_rewrite_ebay_links.php:
Code:

$encodedlink = urlencode($rightlink);
Code:

$encodedlink = $rightlink;
Thanks @ the German Vbulletin Team!
