Jusst downloaded the updated version.. thanks so much for doing this so quickly!

Maybe I've missed this in my skimming through but is there a way to fix the problem where any link with eBay in it's url is seen as "ebay" and goes to their homepage instead of the one intended? (for instance: tamebay.com goes to ebay.com)

Thanks!

I have not gotten around to fix that bug yet. I pushed out this release quickly because it is a major structural change (in eBay).

All my "old" posts made prior to my switchover to the new EPN system show the old CJ coding. How can I go about "rewriting" these old posts to carry the new EPN link content?

You will need to rebuild the post cache. This can be done in the Admin CP.

Has anybody noticed a change in clicks or revenue, good or bad, since moving the the eBay powered affiliate program?

My revenue is equal to or higher than before. I did add some new Ebay banners etc at the same time I changed my links.

It does take 3 to 5 days at least for commissions to start ramping up. But I had sales on day one and was at normal CJ levels by day 4.

Many users at the EPN website are complaining of no sales. I can only assume they botched the conversion coding on their pages.

latest version installed and working fine, but it's still rewriting links to any URL ending with ebay.com

I don't blame them, the EPN developer documentation is wrong. If it wasn't for you guys, I'd always have the wrong code.

This has been discussed before, as you well know.

Well... it's been pointed out and noted as being an issue with a previous version before. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's been 'discussed'.

Great, great mod, even if i only clocked up an unclaimable $15 on CJ. I know this has been discussed before, but you should look into integrating other affiliate schemes (amazon, buy.at, tradedoubler etc). I'd be happy to pay for a mod like that.

I'm running it successfully on 3.7.0 Release Candidate 3 btw
