Is EPN deadline extension for CJ legit?

[mcmuney]

I've seen a post here that stated EPN transfer from CJ is being extended to 05/31/08, is this accurate? I don't see a message on my EPN account or email regarding this.

Oh my this is beautiful news! ...time to keep the CJ links alive for another month.

But waaait ... this is the best part ...

Note that because of our contractual obligations, as of May 31st, you will no longer be able to receive any commissions through Commission Junction. This will include commissions from clicks in May that convert into purchases or ACRUs in June.

Errr ...thats some B.S. really but I guess its just wiser to goahead with the switch over still.

This post may well indicate that EPN is doing a very poor job of communicating with it's partners. Personally, I thought this had rapidly become common knowledge.

I agree with you here. I would have expected this type of an announcement to be sent directly to my email and/or on my Inbox when I login to EPN, but neither approaches were taken. One would have to search for it to find it. I guess they don't want everyone to know.

You can view the message on their blog. (http://www.ebaypartnernetworkblog.com/category/english/)

I have to concur. While I did quickly find out about this via the blog due to daily monitoring of it, it would have been much more professional and efficient to send out the announcement via email to each individual EPN member to ensure that they were aware of the change. To be fair though I don't think they were trying to hide anything, I just think they are generally clueless as to how to handle affiliate communications and support.

Well...I hope now they see how valuable CJ was and why it deserved something in the value chain. Hopefully they'll allocate the appropate resources to run this program just as efficiently but hopefully even better then CJ did.
