IMPORTANT – 301 redirects for Auction2Post
May 11, 2010
Ebay Partner network announced today that all redirects to them must be 301′s and not 302′s. By default, the auction2post a2plink.php page sends the header over as 302. You must change this to comply with their Terms & Conditions. This must be done no later than June 8th or you will be found in violation of their terms which means you will probably have your account terminated. I saw that PHPBay released their fix today so you need to patch their as well if you use that program.
Here is what needs to be fixed in a2plink.php. Find this line and comment it out and then add the line below.
//header("Location: " . $auctionLink);
header("Location: " . $auctionLink, TRUE, 301);
