That's great for you. Despite the clueless affiliate management team, eBay affiliate program is highly recommended.
im in florida and was accepted in less than an hour....the problem has to be with your site....just like google adsense if you have a low quality site.....in google's eyes "you pose a threat to the user experience and ultimate integrity of the advertiser network" in laymans terms your site probably has a 99.9 percent bounce rate...improve your site have a nice clean look my site is <a href="http://www.aboutgolfclubs.info/">aboutgolfclubs</a> if you really want to be part of the network than work at it....good luck
Keith: It's not an issue with peoples sites. The issue is that ePN is automatically rejecting applicants from certain countries.
Keith: it is not about the quality of sites really.I show them a site where I consistently drive 30,000+ US visitors from SE, making OK profits. The site is full of quality contents I personally wrote, not those MFA you see. Somehow they are just not that into me. It's funny, I was accepted to eBay UK in CJ. Now that they moved to EPN, they ditch me out.
Guys, I posted my response from ebay after weeks of trying to get in touch on the EPN boards here: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=1000697591&tstart=0&mod=1210688332778
So far it's very bad situation. Probably it was even better when they were with CJ. I understand that paypal not taking me via some laws that needs to be done by my country, but if it (Ebay) doesn't accept publishers who can be paid via paypal it sucks totally. Anyway they replied to me about month ago that they can accept me after I told them that I'll have English website with US/western traffic.
hmm.. we have all kinda cases here. I've sent proof that I have a converting websites with US traffic.. doesn't help.
cylai, are you in the country which accepts paypal ? That maybe the issue, cause in my case it was : denied - I write about english website with good english traff - they replied hmm ok we'll take you - I realised that I can't accept paypal and reply them so - they denied me then via that again. So try again
hey seolinker: I am from Malaysia, and I do have a paypal account. Still wondering why they don't love me
This looks bad for me, i'm currently in the process of getting a ebay store design for a niche that i'm interested in and then i was going to apply with the same store. I've spent money on the design and about to spend on the coding, i hope for my sake that i can be accepted because i'll have a loss before i started. I'm from Barbados in the Caribbean. Any words of encouragement for a beginner? If i'm not accepted is there an alternative to EPN?
This is exactly why i always stress on getting approved by EPN before you buy BANS. I guess you should have no problems with application as EPN mostly disapprove ASians.
I think he means that because a lot of people are not accepted by EPN then their ebay affiliate websites are no longer of any use to them therefore they will sell them in the buy sell or swap forum on DP
