Link Accounts by October 1st to post on the board

Sep 22, 2009 4:53 PM
Hello All,

Starting October 1st, we will require that users have an active eBay Partner Network account in order to make posts to the eBay Partner Network discussion boards. We’re making this change as a result of feedback from a number of publishers. In people’s experience with other networks, limiting the boards to publishers in the network has been helpful in encouraging constructive and helpful conversations on the boards. In addition, if specific issues or bugs are reported by publishers, we’ll be able to better follow up as appropriate by looking into specific accounts.

Linking your accounts is easy! If you have not already done so, please link the eBay User ID you wish to post with to your eBay Partner Network Publisher Account. From your Publisher Dashboard, click on Account, then choose Business Information. You then scroll down to the link that says Link to eBay Account, and follow the directions.

Thank you for being a part of the eBay Partner Network Community.

Sincerely,


eBay Partner Network Team

Will the boards still be viewable by those who do not have an EPN account?

I guess that's one way to cut down on the number of people complaining!

Casey,

I think it would be a great idea if not only could you not post here, but not be even able to view this forum unless you had an ePN account. I would personally feel more comfortable posting more technical questions without fearing some side-lined individual could use the information against me.

Remember Bob...

Thanks

Planet E, on the flip side of that request these forums are where ex members come to find out what they can do about a surprise ban. If the forums are locked up too, like their dashboards, the feeling can be extremely frustrating.

So... I have a phone number to call if I get really get upset. I'd rather not have to see several post about... Oh I got banned! I would just call my eBay rep. We need a safe place to exchange some good code and thoughts. With the current format I would never share too much here, IMO... I coming up on almost a decade of ePN'ing (CJ days included)

The truth will set you free. If you can't post, then why are you here? To try to figure out how to beat the system? I'm here to ask questions and ask for help as the rules change. If I get banned then I need to send an email through proper channels to ask why I got banned and wait for a response... then I will be re-instated if I am legit. IMO 90% or better of people that get banned did something very wrong (can't read).

Sorry to seem so negative, but I've seen almost all of it.

You obviously didn't go to law school. ;)

My account has always been linked to me eBay account and I've never had any problems because of it.

With the lack of transparency with the new QCP model I'm sure there'll be plenty of paranoia about posting something on here that upsets Ebay and then finding your EPC mysteriously drop.

I applaud the move.

If your on the up and up, then you shouldn't have a problem linking your account.

Besides, they already know who you are any way if they want to.

Because my real ID is already linked to my ePN account and I'm not going to post here with it. It's too intertwined with tons of things I'm not willing to share here. With the exception of a handful of posters, this place sucks anyway. I don't believe I've ever seen so much misinformation and silly speculation in one place. This was just the push I needed.

For anyone concerned about reprocussions from participation here as the result of a linked account, here's something that might ease your mind. Last year when I was on a rant about the tracking issues , I was contacted by the EPN, who somehow or another made the connection between my Ebay ID and my EPN account (it wouldn't have been that hard).

After all the things I'd said up to that point, and all the things I've said since, my account is still active.

One thing I've said before about the EPN is that they really do believe in freedom of speech. I honestly wouldn't worry about reprocussions from the EPN for things you've said here. And that's coming from someone who's said some things here.

The only time I get in trouble is when my wife reads what I post. Thank God she doesn't have access to the phpBay forums. ;)
