    Dear Digital Point members,

    My first topic on these forums..and I like it already. :D

    I'm an webmaster from Holland, and have a few Dutch websites.
    Now I'm ready to create some international websites, and I want to start a site with BANS.

    Now, before I buy a domain and the software, I have this question;

    - As I'm from Holland, can I register at the E-Bay US Affiliate program?

    Please let me know, so I can get started..

    Thank you! ;)

    eBay USA are infamous for auto rejecting people that aren't from the USA.

    BUT, I had no problems getting in (I'm from Australia), and I know there are people in Europe that are also eBay US affiliates.

    I'm pretty sure eBay USA still have an automatic accept/reject policy, so they probably don't even check your website. Maybe just register a domain (without hosting), sign up to CJ and apply to eBay ... at worst, you'll be auto rejected and end up with a spare domain.

    Of course, don't buy BANS until you're accepted by eBay.

    ---
    If ScoutFC.com is your site, then just put up some content and apply using that domain.

    Yeah i do not have luck with ebay US. However I got accepted into eBay UK affiliate program without problems.

    Is there eBay affiliate program in Dutch? If so why not give it a go.

    Shinzo:

    do update us on how you got accepted to eBay US !
    I suspect that you used an US forwarding address to apply, am I right?

    cheers,
    CY

    I am Aussie and I got into US ebay. I didnt use any US addresses or anything like that. I was with CJ for a few months before I applied and I had a few sales from other sellers (not ebay) maybe that helped me.
