Ebay.co.uk for US CJ'ers

    Hi All,

    I recently added ebay.co.uk to my group of advertisers.
    The purpose was to create a site for Brits.
    I also signed up to amazon.co.uk.

    I built the site using the $5 script from JCE-tech.com, and beefed it up.
    I modified the line with the ebay rss, and used the one from the ebay.co.uk editor kit.

    I'm getting visitors, but virtually no clicks.

    1. Is there a problem with CJ-Yanks using ebay.co.uk?
    2. Is this just the same problem affecting everybody lately of slow reporting?
    3. Does google penalize the $5 script like BANS (with the common footprint)?

    Thanks (in advance) for your suggestions.

    If I was a Yank I would be buying from eBay.com not eBay.co.uk.

    1. No. I'm Australian and promote co.uk, and .com. No probs at all.
    2. CJ reporting is worse than usual at the moment, it's no big deal.
    3. Not yet.

    The categories are different, and the site is geared to Brits and Eurotypes. I do offer a US option, and then I use ebay.com.

    are you using a .co.uk or a .com TLD for your website?

    I'm using .com, and I finally started to see some commissions.

    If you direct a user to ebay.co.uk then you gat a co.uk cookie dropped

    A user in the US could win a bid or BIN from the co.uk site, it's allowed, and you should get a commission :D

    But a US user may add something to his watchlist and later bid via ebay.com, you won't then get a commission :mad:
