    Does anybody know how this scripting tool working? How is the link converted to an affiliate link.

    I've tried doing adding: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=xxxxxxxx&mpre="ebay link"

    But noticed some links do not work this way.

    Any CJ experts coder out there to help me out?

    Thanks

    Not sure exactly what you are asking, you just need to put in your website PID which CJ gives you and add a url at the end where you want the person who clicks to go to on ebay.

    Eg.

    "http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=123456&mpre=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380004817145"

    I thought doing the way you stated way ok, but sooner realize some links will not work. It's not properly converted

    I actually took some time to analyze and break how the flexible tool converts the auction link into an affililate link.

    Inputting this part before the ebay auction link is ok:
    http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=123456&mpre=

    But in the eBay auction link, the following must be converted:
    (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380004817145)

    ":" = %3A
    "/" = %2F
    "?" = %3F
    "&" = %26
    "=" = %3D


    If anybody knows other characters that needs to be converted please let me know.


    Thanks
