Curious to see if anyone else is pulling RSS Feeds off of eBay's Partner Program and having this same issue and has found a fix. For clarity, here's a link to the error in question.
So the post is created as such: Control Panel Home > RSS Feeds > RSS Feed Manager - new feed pointing towards a link built by their Partner program which creates the post above. Pretty simple.
When the RSS tools build the link on this page, everything is fine except for the link it builds for the image for the auction. Naturally, most people click on the image which results in a 404. So by clicking the image link the RSS tool has built a URL that contains a single quote character right after the forum address and then again at the end, a ' that is converted in the HTML to: & # 3 9 ; (minus the spaces)
So I thought, OK, I'll do an Apache redirect. Easier said than done. Whatever I've tried doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I queried eBay about this and they claim it's a VBulletin issue (of course). In their feed I notice there's a space for the image link that's inconsistent with other links so it's writing it as such which I think is causing the problem: <a href= 'http://rover.ebay.com/rover
