I think you could do partial referrer. There is a limit on that field length and not sure what it is. For a while, I thought my keywords (not encoded) was causing problems so I restricted length quite a bit. I would be worried with two items. - properly encoding the referrer, you can't have any 'weird' chars in there - worried about the length being too long. If I was you I would use SEO redirect technique, and then store the referrer in the database before sending them to their destination.

Let me know if you have any questions. hanji Robin.. thanks for commenting!

- properly encoding the referrer, you can’t have any ‘weird’ chars in there
- worried about the length being too long.

A quick question, if you know of the answer... (I've been looking quickly through the eBay Developer network docs for this, but without luck so far)... If all I want to do is track the referrer code (say, in the customid field) in my rover code, is there a simple paramater I can add to the rover code? As in ..... &customid=[http-referrer] or something like that. All I would like to do is be able to view the specific referring URL that generated a transaction in EPN reports. Many thanks in advance.
