    Following Mark's guide here

    http://www.45n5.com/permalink/howto-build-a-youtube-ebay-amazon-mashup-affiliate.html

    I set up a few sites and it works

    I was wondering something about this code.

    He instructs us to insert out Developer ID

    I think I later modification of the script someone added CJ PID...at least it is there in the version I have.....

    My question is:

    If I put my Dev ID in the script, can it be used with someone else's CJ PID

    will this work? think of it in a revenue sharing aspect

    eBay developer ID has nothing to do with CJ, it has to do with the ability to access eBay API

    You don't need eBay developer ID if you are simply using their RSS feeds, but if you want to make use of teh REST API calls you need a developer ID.

    When you make an API call your developer ID is passed in the call to eBay.

    The values he's talking about are RequestToken and RequestUserID, which you'll need to get from eBay's developer center. You can create the REST token from your key pairs set there, and associate a eBay account to create RequestUserID.

    I just got the script working myself.. kind of nice. I like the Amazon integration, eventhough I'm not a big fan of the Amazon affiliate program, but the web service is nice.

    I understand they have nothing to do with each other.

    I just want to be sure.

    I took the script above and wrote a Drupal module based on the Adsense Rev Share module.

    Can someone else, use this script, using my DEV ID, and get credited from CJ if they provide their CJ PID?
