A couple of days ago eBay came out in their blog saying that the URL's in their links needed to be encoded. Previously their own affiliate link creator was not doing this. (it appears to be fixed and is encoding now)

Does this mod do this currently? I'm just wondering if we're basing everything on how eBay was previously telling us to do it, which has now changed.

My sales and commissions went down about 75% when I switched to the new eBay system, so for now I've switch back to CJ, at least until the end of the month.

Here's a quote from eBay and a link to the blog:

2. Make sure you ‘url encode’ the eBay destination url (after mpre= ) and if you are using the customid and you have any special characters within it, this will need to be url encoded too.
