A bit of background behind this add-on...
I approached Andy to see if he had anything that could be used that would make past and future eBay links on our forums compliant with the eBay Partner Network disclosure requirements that are being introduced. Basically, a disclosure within a site's footer or T&C's that eBay links might earn the site/forum commission will shortly be non-compliant and could lead to affiliations being withdrawn.
It's something that is going to affect everyone, not just forum owners, but all social media sites likewise, and many of us use affiliations as a means to generate some income towards the running costs of our forums and site.

Following a few days Andy shared his work with me to test on our forum, and the results are perfect, the default phrase is editable should you wish, however it fulfills eBay's requirements to the letter.
The disclosure requirements also extend to past eBay links, so a further add-on has been developed which will add the disclosure phrase to all previous posts that contain eBay links.
That add-on can be found here:

The above might read a bit like an advert, it isn't meant to be so, just credit given where credit is due, and to give everyone a 'heads up' of changes afoot that could impact on your forum's revenue stream.
