Problems with eBay Referral/Redirect URLs 0

[vcac]

Hi,

I noticed when someone mentions eBay in a post, a URL like https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2F&campid=5338116315&customid=CGCForum&toolid=10001 gets generated. When someone clicks through, they end up at https://www.ebay.com/ and CGCForum should get credit for the referral.

Similarly, when someone posts a specific eBay Store URL like https://ebay.com/usr/vintagecomicsandcards, a URL like https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Febay.com%2Fusr%2Fvintagecomicsandcards&campid=5338116315&customid=CGCForum&toolid=10001 gets generated. When someone clicks through, there's a problem with the URL and they end up at https://www.ebay.com/ instead of https://ebay.com/usr/vintagecomicsandcards and CGCForum might be missing out on a more lucrative referral.

You will be much more valuable to eBay if you fix the redirects. And less confusing for members wondering why they end up at https://www.ebay.com/ instead of the eBay Store they wanted.

Please let me know if you need additional information.
