hi, i want to use this addon for ebay.de (germany) affiliate programm, but i cannot choose ebay.de in the "Placement ID" menü. how can i use ebay.de affiliate program?

I don't have an eBay affiliate account and am setting this up for someone else. When it asks for Campaign ID and Custom ID, what exactly is it looking for? They said their campaign ID was links-chopsticks. Does that sound right?

jderouen · #**494** 06-30-2012, 04:49 PM

They also said they have a ten-digit ID. Do I have to put that somewhere as well?

No, links-chapsticks is not their campid it sounds like their logon username. You'll need to have their "campid" -- each website and campaign in their EPN has a separate campid # -- either they need to give you access to their EPN account or they need to be smart enough about their account to know how to look up their campid. It's easily found in their EPN account.

The Custom Id is optional and is for custome tracking purposes only.

The 10-digit number is the campid -- they log into EPN and click on the "Campaign" tab to see the campids for their account.

Got it to work, much thanks!!

Very tempted to put this on my forum as it would be a sure winner!!!

Has anyone been banned from EPN for using this mod?

Does it violate their Code of Conduct in anyway?

creativepart · #**498** 08-02-2012, 01:08 PM

It's perfectly allowable. I have an EPN rep and he is well aware of the way this rewriting is done and has said it's perfectly acceptable.

I've used it... for 4 or more years.

Thanks for the reply, good to hear...I'll give it a whirl!

I haven't used this plugin since I signed up for VigLink (in disclosure, that's my affiliate link, but I'm not otherwise connected with the company). It's just some JavaScript that sits in your footer and automatically converts any link (to eBay, Amazon, or any other site which has a large referral program) to an affiliate link.

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

I have been going cross-eyed trying to read up on the geographic eBay region functionality - after page 14 - I am posting this!

if you have

70% USA eBay links
10% UK eBay links
5% German eBay links

Do you loose out on the UK & German ones if you set USA as default?

Thanks in advance

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
