Ok, thanks. Is it possible to code-in entering the AID manually?

It's odd that I use eBay.co.uk's FDT and it gives .coms AID!

You can simply change the AID in one of the plugins.

Has it been verified that this works okay on 3.6.8? I am waiting to upgrade to 3.6.8 until I know for sure.

Yes, it works with 3.6.8.

Yes, that's because I'm coding according to the eBay supplied converter and also you're referring to the options. I was referring to hard-coding it in the plugin.

I'll add in an option to change the AID in the next iteration of the modification.

Here is another crazy question for ya!

Had a guy put the URL for a search on his eBay username in a post - see here: http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/s...ad.php?t=93794. This basically listed all the items he has for sale.

Since this is not a link to an actual auction would I still get affiliate credit if someone was to go to eBay via this link on my forum and then buy one of the items he has listed?

This would be a question for eBay, as I cannot tell for sure.

I'd like to know the answer to that one too!

Thanks. Not sure it'll help though because on my site, people post links to both UK and US domains (and others). If someone in the UK buys an item, the US AID isn't valid. If I change the US AID to a UK one, then the US ones don't register!...

Hmmm, it's tricky. Can the mod not be made recognise the base URL (.co.uk / .com) and add the relevant AID accordingly? I'm sure you'll rise to god-like status if you could pull that one off!
