The Ebay affiliate program has been mainly responisible for me earning a decent living over the past couple of years. I merely redirect traffic to my site which had an Ebay categories menu embedded with my affiliate id on it. Whenever someone bid,bought something,or registered as a new member I got paid like clockwork without any problems whatsoever.

Then Ebay made a switch to a new affiliate platform which allowed for more promotional tools and an advanced accounting system. This only made it better……………….until I got the following email:

Attention,

During a recent review, we have found that your account has violated the eBay Partner Network Code of Conduct. We have terminated your account, effective immediately. We will pay out any commissions you have accrued this month in the normal payout timeline.

We have gathered evidence that your methods of promotion include the generation of non-user initiated clicks.

As stated in the ePN Code of Conduct section (A), these practices are prohibited.

(A) Non-Bona Fide Transactions:

    1. You will not cause any transactions to be made that are not in good faith, including but not limited to using invisible methods to generate impressions, clicks or transactions that are not initiated by the affirmative action of an end user, or using any cookie, device, program, robot, Iframe or hidden frame, pop-up window or any other operation or process that interferes with our ability to properly identify and track transactions.

    • 2. You will not deliver any ePN-related cookies or other tracking tags to the computers of users that are merely viewing your advertisements or while your applications are merely active or open.

    3. You will not interfere with or seek to improperly influence the referral of an end user to Participating Sites and Content unless the end user knowingly and explicitly consents to that behavior by taking an affirmative action.

    4. You and your Agents will not click on Promotional Content containing your own Tracking Code.

First of all,there were no secret tracking devices installed and every visitor had an unique ip address so my best guess is that they’re referring to my use of frames. However,as I mentioned in the beginning,I’ve been with them for a couple of years using the same site -with the same frames- and there was NEVER a problem.

I replied immediately explaining this and requested a reconsideration even though their terms state you can never apply again once you get terminated. Until I hear a positive response from Ebay I’ll see how Amazon’s category menu works out. This is all helping me to understand why so many former eBay users are now so pissed off. Their rules are not evenly applied and its subject to any reinterpretation by they desire. For example: I know of an entrepreneur who was booted from eBay for selling replica handbags,yet the powersellers are allowed to sell all the fake stuff they want…and these powersellers don’t even bother telling the viewer it’s a replica!

In the words of Arsenio Hall back in the day,” it just makes you go hmmmmmm” Will I be the next to join the eBay Burn In Hell Bandwagon? We’ll see…I’ll keep you updated.
