Last week I was happy to see the mini portal beta program and started using the javascript code. Now the code is not working and the mini portal is not visible anymore on Ebay. What happened?

Since about 2 days ago, I cannot log in to my Ebay Partner Newtork account, I get the message "The e-mail address or password is incorrect. Please try again." I've tried the "Forgot your password?" page, but I never receive the e-mail on how to reset my password. I can't find any way to contact EPN for help. I did not receive any e-mail saying that my account had been terminated. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Bill

Tip: Make sure you keep at least 2 weeks worth of raw server logs for every site you run traffic to eBay Partner Network. I am writing this post in hopes that it may save another affiliate from what I've gone through over the past weeks. Ebay Partner Network has served as a significant source of income for me for the last 8 months or so. I went from mere double digit monthly earnings in January of 2009 to doing thousands of clicks every day by building numerous content niche websites and...

I am in complete shock. I was just notified that my sites were not generating quality after many years with ebay affiliate program (and high quality ratings the whole time) and what I believe to be very strong content built over many years on membership oriented sites. I had a spike in traffic one day on one site a few weeks ago which triggered a quality review. After providing logs and site info, I am totally shocked that my account has been terminated. I really did not think that would be...

I know that we are no longer being paid directly for ACRUs, but I don't think I'm being indirectly paid for them either. Before QCP, I was in either the $28 or $40 tier for ACRUs, depending on the month. So it's not like eBay thought that my ACRUs were garbage. However, whenever I get ACRUs now, I see no noticeable change in my earnings. One campaign really highlighted this to me. It's a campaign that does OK in the US, I'm hoping to grow traffic to this part of my website, but I'm...

Hello. I run two different ePN campaigns. I pulled my transaction report for the last few days and it's reporting campaigns incorrectly. I went back, identified the post in question using the custom ID - double checked all the links on it for what campaign ID is specified - yet the transaction report is claiming the sale occurred as a result of a link from my second unrelated campaign...that is definitely not specified in the code in any of the links for that particular post.

Hello , I have been running ebay ad's for a couple years and was satisfied with the old system , and afraid to learn the new system. I am not the best at understanding how all this works and what I should do to fix things. Here is what happened and I beg someone to help me fix it. I started on the new system and for last month (my first month) I got $60 from an epc of 0.14 If I click on reports / campaign quality I have a quality score od about 1.0 and rated "very high" So all...

IP range - 192.84.16.0 - 192.84.19.255 Owned by 8x8, Inc. This is the second time my site has been attacked by this ignorant bot that clicks on absolutely everything using one IP address in spurts of 20-30 clicks every few minutes. I've added them to my own filters but would like to suggest that EPN consider banning the range. The bot visited my site using the previously banned IP and simply changed to a new one within the range. I was able to catch it and stop it fairly quickly this...

dvd2sl, I have tried SMF because it's free, but was continually attacked by hackers and bots. Then I tried UBB Threads, but it is difficult to skin and seems to cache data that it shouldn't even though the settings tell it not too. I was thinking about vBulletin, but I belong to a forum that uses it and, as a user, I have a lot of problems with cookies not sticking and occasional screen formating causing me to have to scroll horizontally. It's not my Vista/IE8 computer as I experience the...

Hi there In October I earned around $45 for clicks alone and maybe bits for sales but thats it... If I do a report I can see the $45 but can't see the money from the sales. Do they ever come out on the same report or do you have to download a transaction report for this...Are they separate things? And when do you get paid for October?

Hi guys I checked a few things out...Adsense pays me an average of .30cents a click and Ebay is paying me .15cents a click....( made up figures, but close) But is it better to have someone click on an Ebay ad because you can make further earnings? I haven't had any proof of this yet because I am new to this...but is this statement true? Can you earn big bucks with Ebay on say 40 clicks a day or do you have to have hundreds of clicks to earn anything? Also, do you still get paid...

I've just noticed that my dashboard is defaulting to showing only earnings through eBay US, so that I'm not seeing my total earnings through all programs. Is this a problem with reports anyone else is seeing?
