Our seventeenth EPN niche site for the month is, Rare Diamonds. This is a new domain registration. I updated the theme to incorporate the required “Right now on eBay” logo. This logo is required for those of us using the API to display eBay auctions. I know that many people do so and do not display the logo. I don’t think EPN is very strict about this but at some point they may. So very soon I am going to update all the sites I did this month so far with the theme changes. I really don’t think that logo will hurt my click throughs any. If anything it might help because eBay is a well known site.

Where did you read this about the required “right now on eBay?” I don’t see the logo on your site, where is it?
They told me about it when I tried to up my call limits:

http://developer.ebay.com/join/logo/00_index.html
Maybe I am reading it wrong… give me your take. The email I got said if you use the API you have to display the logo.
Thanks for letting me know… it is not showing in Firefox. Maybe that is why you cannot see it. I still see it IE. I will have to check into that tonight. Thanks!
Who knows. This company is so messed up. Some of the discussion board posts say mixed things about displaying the logo. While what we’ve read, your links, tell us we have to link to a certain location, whilst the EPN team tells us we can use the logo at will, not to the right of the page, but anywhere and link it with a rover. OR, we can just use some piece of the editor tool kit. I have no idea, and I don’t believe they do either.
Did you get approved for more calls?
No I did not get more yet. I have to fix several things that I listed in a post a few weeks ago. I just don’t have the time to get to it now. I think what kills my api calls is bots. I can not run out for days and then one day I run out early in the day.
Just as I suspected. The problem with the images not showing in Firefox was simply due to spaces in the image filename. I ran into this in the past. Took out the spaces in the file names and updated my CSS and perfection…
