Downloaded report states the category id of an item that someone has won/bid on, how do I then find out what the id number relates to? say the cat id is 131090, is there a page on eBay where I can search by cat id to find out what that category is? I'm not sure if all country cat ids are the same, if not I need a search function for UK cat id's so that I can optimize.

Just a heads up to ebay.... perhaps someone over there can fix this soon. I haven't check the other sizes, but the graphic for the 120x600 seasonal creative is not alligned correctly. Only half of the graphic is displayed and you're not able to see the products.

There is an option to include seller id's in a search when creating a custom banner, but no option to exclude seller id's. tools--widgets---custom banner is there anyway I can manually add code to exclude seller id's in these banners or should I just not use the custom banners and just use API's?

Only one Fixed Price format “Full search exposure” is key because starting March 30, there will be just one Fixed Price listing format on eBay. Store Inventory Format listings will automatically become regular Fixed Price listings with the same duration and renew at the new rates—and surface in search results right along with all other listings.

The recent RSS change (without ANY advanced notice) has BROKEN several of my sites (thanks, epn) so now I'm testing all of them to make sure the proper epn cookie is being set when links are clicked. I've noticed several cookies in my browser that come from ebay.com. Some of them don't have an expiration date. Some have a 1-year expiration date. Others have a 2-year expiration date. Kinda strange cuz I was under the impression that the cookie responsible for our commissions was a 7-day cookie....

Helo, Today I noticed I had lost 95% of my clicks. When Investigated I found a lot of clicks either going to an error page saying "Page Not Responding": Link or a front page like this: Link What I found on one of my sites was that if I removed the campaign ID, clicks went through to the correct product... but that is not really a viable work around is it! I then trawled a load of other sites that are not mine by looking for footprints from BANS (which are easy to find) and...

Well, I fixed the problem I was going to post by removing any blocks in the right sidebar for the page, but I'm not sure what caused the error in the first place. The problem was that I was using Drupal with the Acquia Marina theme, and it massively screwed up the layout of the editor kit when there were any blocks in the right hand column. Basically, the main div with the title and the eBay logo looked fine, but the actual listings were only about 200 pixels wide (instead of 600 pixels),...

eBay has announced a number of changes that will impact sellers, and especially those who have stores. The changes go into effect on March 30th: Link auctionbytes has a story: Link and a more detailed blog posting: Link I closed my eBay store last summer (for reasons not having to do with ebay, really, just changes in my life), but I still do sell here. I have to spend some time analyzing the new fee structure to determine if I will continue to sell, and if so, what format(s) I...

Is anyone else having problems with the XML API? As of 7:00pm PST my calls to the API are taking 10 plus seconds to respond and intermittently timing out. I suspect this same issue probably also affects RSS feeds as well. Anybody seeing the same issues?

One of my campaigns doesn't get very many clicks per day, less than 100 normally. Yesterday it had almost 1,500! I checked the logs and it shows these IP addresses providing the majority of hits. Can anyone determine anything about these? 65.222.217.211 64.184.179.76 99.21.57.98 70.196.205.210 68.114.236.91 This campaign had an EPC of $0.12. Because of yesterday's hits, EPC is now $0.01.

I know that some rover cookies are not commission cookies, but am not sure which ones are or are not. This auction: Link has all sorts of clickable images in their listings that direct to an external domain and then right back to eBay. The following eBay cookies are set: dp1 ebay lucky9 nonsession s npii Even if they are not roundtripping affiliate cookies, I thought that links to external domains within listings was forbidden under eBay policy. I've had listings...
