    hi,

    I am using dbr.url to form eBay search URL dynamically.
    Standard eBay search URL is like this:

    http://www.ebay.com/sch/&_nkw=keyword

    In my code I have it like this:

    SELECT 'dbr.url', 'http://www.ebay.com/sch/','','[eBay]','eBaySearch','?_nkw=MyItemName','new_window';

    However, when URL is generated, I notice "=" after "&_nkw" is missing and MyItemName follows right after.
    So I see that generated URL is like this:
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/&_nkwMyItemName

    I tried to move "?" to be part of base URL with no good result.
    Normally, I have no such problem with any other similar search URLs and I suspect that maybe presence of "_" could be a problem? Is this a bug?

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    you can use format:

    SELECT 'dbr.url', 'http://www.ebay.com/sch/?','','[eBay]','eBaySearch','_nkw=MyItemName','new_window';

    It will produce link:

    "http://www.ebay.com/sch/?&_nkw=Starbucks+card" which should work fine with eBay.
