The big news today was that eBay is leaving Commission Junction and opening up their own independent affiliate network. It has been covered pretty heavily in the blogosphere so I thought I’d try to enlighten everyone a bit as to how it will affect your Squidoo lenses, since there are TONS of lenses out there with eBay listings.

1) The Squidoo eBay module will be fine. Gil stated in the forums today that Squidoo has been working with eBay to make transition as painless as possible. Yay Gil!

2) Your RSS Feeds may need updating. If you are using a version of my Ebay RSS Feed Generator, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered and will be able to automatically update your feeds from my end. If you create your own CJ/eBay RSS feeds, you will need to go back and change each one according to the new links that eBay releases.

The Moral of the story? Use Squidoo’s Ebay feed generator…. or mine :D .
