Default eBay drops support for affiliate links and campaign IDs on community sites

Some eBay changes you should know about
By Megan Casey, Squidoo


Quote:
Starting very soon, the eBay Partner Network (EPN) will no longer support individual affiliate links or campaign IDs posted on Squidoo. This means using your own eBay affiliate links manually coded into your lenses. If eBay finds these links and reports them to us, your lens could get locked. eBay also says that in such cases, your membership and payouts in the eBay Partner Network will be discontinued. EBay tells us this new policy will be applicable to many big community sites like Squidoo (and lots of other places on the web, too, like HubPages and Typepad).

So basically we'll just have to make sure our links point to our own affiliate sites, right?

The article from Squidoo indicates that they have some sort of plug-in which is safe to use. I would suggest you check with other social networking sites to see what they have to say about it.

Ya you can use the Squidoo based eBay links, just not your own links. I'm heading over to the eBay blog to see if they've said anything about this yet.
