If I was still interested in seriously promoting eBay (and I'm not for any number of reasons) I would spend some time making sure that wherever I put an eBay link was somewhere where I could edit it on a fairly universal basis. I know it's not ideal sometimes for placement, but you can't rely on eBay to leave their formatting alone. And if I was just joining or thinking of joining EPN, I'd think twice about spending a lot of my time on a network who places all of the responsibility for traffic control and quality, technical issues, etc. with the affiliate and is apparently willing to dump that affiliate at any moment with little recourse for failing to meet their ever-changing requirements.

If I was still interested in seriously promoting eBay (and I’m not for any number of reasons) I would spend some time making sure that wherever I put an eBay link was somewhere where I could edit it on a fairly universal basis. I know it’s not ideal sometimes for placement, but you can’t rely on eBay to leave their formatting alone.

And if I was just joining or thinking of joining EPN, I’d think twice about spending a lot of my time on a network who places all of the responsibility for traffic control and quality, technical issues, etc. with the affiliate and is apparently willing to dump that affiliate at any moment with little recourse for failing to meet their ever-changing requirements.

My two cents.

I had in mind a lot of writing I wanted to do, but instead I've been replacing auction.php files across the board. That didn't take too long, but then I remembered that I tend to manually place cloaked ebay links inside some posts and pages. You know, for those extra items you know your readers want (per keywords), but you don't particularly have time to write a large post about. So, instead of uncloaking all of those, I am attempting to either write a full post/page about that product, or sending it through to the the search results with a nofollow on it. In hindsite, it was stupid to put those in. I'm hoping I didn't do much of that on the rest of my sites.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('18752','Brian'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('18752','Brian','Well I can say that today hasn\'t been a fun day!

The bottom line is that NO LINKS pointing to eBay, can be run through a 302 redirect! BANS, when its set to cloak, uses a 302... So the quick bandaid, is to turn off the cloaking, but the real fix is going to involve more I think.
