hey all - don't know if this is just me or what but since registering with the new scheme this morning when I make RSS feeds like I used too the results alternate each time I refresh them. Making every other load completely untracked? Will report this problem to ebay but check it out with this random example: http://rss.api.ebay.com/...etc&fss=0 if you load it, hover over any of the links in the feed and you will notice that it will be rover (or not) then refresh it and it will be the oppisite - making every other load not being tracked links. A bit of a dodgy start for ebay tracking or is it just me?
yeah I think maybe i was just being a bit keeno and they were fixing something - seems OK now...just hope i don't spend days changing rss links only to realise that some of the time it does this or similar. I suppose the proof will be in the change in commisions since last month.
I think they're trying to minimize the change, so they'll not change too much of the old things that we used at CJ, like the rss feeds scheme. Until now, i think it was easy to convert from CJ to EPN.
guys, need some help! where is the rss on ebay.com? normally you would do a advanced search and put you id then on the result page you would find the rss link at the bottom of the page not there anymore :-(
I just tried it and the orange RSS button is there for me. @ jonixkonios - have you switched your RSS sites over to EPN already? I'm planning on doing mine tomorrow. Good to see you back on DP, haven't seen you round here for a while
Triples, everything is on the same place, nothing changed. The only thing that changed in the advanced search was the "Affiliate Tracking Information", you should choose "ebay partner network" and input your new data . The new data is: Campagin ID - Similiar to your PID in CJ Custom ID - Similiar to your SID in CJ Besides this, there is no change at the advanced search.
BINGO!!!! i got it, i didnt know what to write in custom id so i left it blank and that is why it wasent working, can someone please tell me what custom id is? tell me if im wrong example: i want and rss related to pens so i write papermate pens in the custom id, now..when someone clicks on it will i see papermate in my ebay click stats?
Another thing that i dont understand now! I have 22 websites with ebay content, dont i have to add them in epn? just like in CJ!!
Not necessary. You just create a campaignID for each one. At least it's what i'm doing, and no problems yet. anyone else?
Reading "Issues currently being addressed on eBay Partner Network" at the EPN blog.. it said the following... hanji
managed to get the rss feed once but when i put it in myt rss reader it only gave the the title to my feed, didn't list any items (when I clicked the title it took me to the ebay page for my items but doesn't actually list them!!!) now whenever I try it just takes me to a page that tells me to add the rss feed to my yahoo page but doesn't actually display a feed and the url begins e.my.yahoo.com
