    last night i tried getting the rss feeds for the products I want to promote but had a nightmare of a time and ended up giving up.

    i've visited the network today and rss feeds are now listed as coming soon, has anyone else had any problems?

    Yes. I had a go at this but went round in circles. The best way to deal with it is to click on the cross in the top right hand corner of the screen and then find something else to do.

    don't think I'm taking pleasure in your misfortune but thank goodness it isn't just me.

    Im not the most IT literate person and thought I was doing something wring.

    The RSS feed generator has a "Go" button for me, not "Coming Soon".

    And in order to make the feeds work, you MUST enter a Custom ID. Simply put a short text into the blank.

    Hope this helps.

    I use rss feeds in my sites and just got done changing them over. They're still there in the advanced section just like it was for CJ.

    http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/AdvSearch?sofindtype=1

    scroll down to the bottom, you'll see this:
    Affiliate Tracking Information ShowHide
    Adding affiliate tracking information generates RSS feeds that include affiliate tracking data. Learn more

    click on show, click ebay partner network, enter your campaign ID, and then enter a custom ID. One of the bugs they had was that rss feeds weren't working unless you enter a custom ID. I don't believe it's been fixed yet, but i'm not sure since i entered one for every feed that i use.

    hope that helps

    Edit: wrong URL
