SeanJC's Journal: Ebay Partner Network and Blogger

I have just setup an ebay affiliate account and noticed that Ebay now run their own Ebay Partner Network instead of using Commission Junction, I think this is a good idea because it means that hopefully affiliates get a better return.

The problem was that when I used the code from the Ebay Partnet Network website, it caused my Blogger blgo to crash. So I looked into the code and found the issue. Ebay provide code which in essence in too complex for the job in hand, they are doing all sorts of encoding strings to hide stuff, and it just doesn't work in Blogger.

The Solution

To correct this issue you just need to tweak the Ebay provided code I show you in depth in my Not Just AJAX blog what you need to do to make the new Ebay Partner Network code work in Blogger.
