I find that GetSingleItem and GetMultipleItems API don't return affiliate links in "ViewItemURLForNaturalSearch". I have specify my affiliate codes in the parameter using PHP and this is the output of the url: http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=GetMultipleItems&version=667&siteid=0⁡filiate.networkId=9⁡filiate.trackingId=AFFILIATE_ID≈pid=APP_ID&ItemID(0)=301331593303&ItemID(1)=400782341878&IncludeSelector=Details,Description.TextDescription,ItemSpecifics,Variations,Compatibility&responseencoding=JSON But all I have got is a normal ebay link instead of a "rover" link Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem?

The affiliate parameters are different between Shopping API and Finding API. [Use these params instead][1]. Also: *) Always recommended to use a current version, like 889, instead of 667. *) Description.TextDescription is not a [valid Include Selector][2]. I think you meant them with a comma between. (Is "Compatibility" valid? I'm not an expert at JSON.)
