300 ePN affiliates terminated out of 90,000
Posted in eBay, tagged eBay Partner Network on August 25, 2008 | No Comments »
Steve, from the eBay Partner Network, put the August 20th terminations in perspective by posting that only 300 of 90,000 were released last week.
Now ePN’s actions don’t seem so unpredictable. It’s clear that certain affiliates were targeted for release. Those who were wrongly terminated and worked with ePN in a constructive [...]
August sees increase in eBay purchase reversals
Posted in eBay, tagged eBay Partner Network on August 23, 2008 | No Comments »
I took a look at my eBay Partner Network transactions today. The percentage of purchase reversals was 13% in August. There were 0 reversals in May through July.
Could it be a simple reporting change or are more eBay buyers backing out of their purchases? Did this possible trend force ePN to look [...]
eBay Partner Network terminates some affiliates
Posted in eBay, tagged eBay Partner Network, ePN on August 23, 2008 | No Comments »
ePN terminated some very vocal affiliates on Aug. 20 for sending poor quality traffic to eBay. eBay has not stated the metrics they used to classify “poor quality” traffic.
Going forward, ePN needs to set better guidelines for affiliates - IMMEDIATELY. It’s good business practice to set goals and criteria for affiliates then [...]
Sometimes you get what you need

I went through self-checkout at the grocery store yesterday with a $13 purchase and requested $50 cashback. I only got $25.
Incensed at the error, I called to the attendant. The attendant is a lovely African-American woman with her hair done up to there and her fingernails polished.
I say, “I pushed [...]

FeeBay to FreeBay
Posted in eBay, tagged eBay on August 20, 2008 | No Comments »
FeeBay is going FreeBay with lower Buy It Now insertion fees. But hold on! Expect more Paypal fees as eBay bans Money Orders and Checks. Wow! Sellers are going to love this. NOT!!!
Paper payments end this October
Beginning late October 2008, all items listed on eBay.com must be paid [...]
Selling on eBay like building a sandcastle on the beach
Posted in eBay, tagged eBay, paypal on August 20, 2008 | No Comments »
This is an eloquent analogy about selling on eBay (and building eBay services):
If you choose to invest time building sand castles, you have to anticipate the waves. I’m not telling you not to build castles. Just don’t cry when they wash away. Get yourself a castle mold so that you can easily rebuild. Be prepared [...]
My BigCrumbs referrer
Posted in Cool Ecomm sites, tagged BigCrumbs on August 14, 2008 | No Comments »
I clicked on a link on the BigCrumbs.com home page and found one of my referrers. I think I first clicked through to BigCrumbs from Auction Bytes.
This person has 17,800 people in their network and earned about $2,700. That’s around $130 per month. Very interesting. I love hard numbers.
Anti-Auctiva sentiment
Posted in eBay, tagged eBay Partner Network, ePN on August 13, 2008 | No Comments »
This is the topic I meant to write about yesterday. There is a sudden dissing of Auctiva in the forums lately by eBay Partner Network (ePN) affiliates.
Examples: ePN forum, abestweb.com
Auctiva is a 3rd party solution provider for eBay sellers. In 2005, they switched their business model of 6 years to [...]
Fresh Air

Working while camping is where it’s at. Today, I’m at the 2nd Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Campground of the season. This time we’re in Caledonia, Wisconsin.
Jellystone offers free WiFi and I haven’t seen the kids in hours.
There is a clicking noise in the branches above my head. I wonder if it’s some kind [...]
