    The only thing I have seen is that if they are paying more in ACRU money than they are getting in commission, then they will close your account for low quality reasons.

    Well I don't do any type of business with ebay, they are crooked, I have my horror stories with ebay and its sister company. They don't play fair at all. you will never get a response back from ebay. If you want I could let you listen to 6 conversations that I recorded with Ebay and it would blow your mind, or maybe it wouldn't?

    That's absolute tripe. Why would they?

    I suspect that almost every single person who got their account terminated knows EXACTLY why they got the boot.

    Well without googling it, I am not sure what tripe is so..

    Take your little attacks elsewhere. It only makes sense for ebay to eliminate accounts that rely on ACRUS for earnings (this has been stated many times on the EPN board as well). Many people are promoting just to get the signup bonuses and those ACRUS bid one or two times and then never come back. This is hardly a profitable course for ebay and they are all about profit.

    You are right, almost all probably know why their accounts were closed. Some where shady and some (as posted on the epn board) were just delivering low quality and were shut down. If EPN thought they were shady they would not have paid out those low quality accounts. Please go read the epn board as there is many posts of people who were shutdown but received their money. The head of the quality control even contributed his thoughts on the matter there.

    Our account gets FAR more ACRU commission than rev share commission. We do NOT incentivize signups and all our leads are high quality.

    Believe me, I TRY to read the cluttered EPN boards. It's full of idiots who cannot read. It's those idiots who cannot or will not read the TOS that have gotten their accounts revoked. I'm thrilled.

    Lets not make the mistake of assuming that EPN has made an exact science of quality assessment - probably far from it. It's only to be expected that some who have played by the rules will be flushed down the toilet without explanation or recourse. That's what makes for some nervous twitching among all EPN partners.

    I assume I'm playing by the rules, relying strictly on organic serps. But can never be 100% sure that some aberrant phenomenon, over which I have no control, won't trigger the dreaded email.

    I also assume that I'm playing by the rules (organic serps - no ppc/junk traffic etc). But until we know what the rules actually are, we're all fish in a barrel.

    Not going to argue with that

    I am glad that your account is safe with that many ACRUS to commissions. Just commenting on what I have seen and read during my time as an affiliate. Almost all of the terminations have been people with ACRUS and few commissions. Mayber theirs are the bid once and never return type. I would assume that something has to raise a flag for ebay to come and investigate the accounts. There are just to many affiliates to check every account.

    My account is the opposite with most of my money coming from commissions.
