What does AID=5463217 stand for? It is in the code and also in all links that are created.

The eBay Affiliate System is run my Commission Junction. The AID simply stands for Affiliate Identification Number, 5463217 is eBay's number.

So, this mod is only valuable (when it works) if you link to one eBay domain (as the mod can't change links to different eBay PIDs). My site has both .com and .co.uk links.

Hope this doesn't come across as knocking you or the mod - that's not the case. I'd love this mod to not only work, but also work for both UK and US eBay domains.
Any ideas?

Great mod, however using the auctionad code killed my quick reply refresh.

RETRACTED: it was the 'first post' code I was using.

I don't think this mod is working though - I know they're being clicked (and there has definately been sales) but nothing is registering with CJ.

The mod is doing it's job. It's rewriting the URLs successfully, as you can see yourself. Unless the URL format has changed, it's an eBay problem that they're not registering.

The interface in the Control Panel says:

"Enter your eBay Affiliate PID". Shouldn't this be the Commision Junction PID (for the particular website the forum is on) as shown on CJ?.

eBay has advertiser IDs ('AID' I think) not PIDs.

Can you clarify?

It's the number you get from CJ, so yes, Commission Junction PID.
