    I would never believe that anyway. They seem to never even visit the board to begin with, unless it's to be self-promotional or have one of their mouthpieces attempt to diffuse another bomb.

    The actual Pepperjam president frequents these boards on occasion. Search the name "pepperjam" and maybe dump a nicely worded pm and maybe he can steer you in the right direction.

    I'm sure that's true, and I'm under no illusion that it doesn't include me. While I don't think PepperJam offers a complete solution, if you've had the good fortune heretofore to join and get approved for the eBay program on PJN, you may have a buffer against coming purges by switching over. For how long? Who knows?

    One nice thing about the BANS platform is that it makes the PJN switch a breeze.

    It's been about this time of the month when they have been doing mass banning.

    Best reply I saw:

    Ebay is going to destroy itself - slowly but surely.

    It's pretty obvious they know nothing about affiliate marketing.

    Driving visitors to Ebay that will be "engaged" with Ebay is like shooting fish in a barrel.

    I am thinking about buying BANS. I wonder how many BANS owners were kicked out by Ebay this round?

    A lot for what the ebay forums said. Almost every affiliate that was banned, had at least 2-3 bans shops.
    Don't go with ebay, their program is falling apart, and the next months we'll see much more banned affiliates.

    As you might expect, there were some. However, these expirations ranged across the board. There's no indication whatsoever that BANS sites were in any way singled out. I'm a BANS owner, and I would say the majority of those posting on the BANS forum were not affected.

    Of course, whether or not you purchase BANS, you have to decide whether building sites for the EPN program is worth time, effort and money. IMO, as long as you can survive the purges (That's a really big "IF", I'm sure ther are many more to come), then it's still the best converting affiliate program around, in my recent experience. Just a tip - but if you do buy BANS, I would opt for going with Pepperjam (PJN), assuming you are accepted by PJN and their eBay program. It's easy to set up PJN links using BANS.

    Here are some funny odds:

    Fatally slipping in bath or shower: 2,232 to 1.
    Dying from any kind of injury during the next year: 1,820 to 1.
    Dying by Fire or Smoke: 1,113 to 1.
    Drowning to death: 1008 to 1.
    Involved in a Pedestrian accident: 626 to 1.
    Assaulted by firearm: 314 to 1.
    Pregnancies resulting in identical twins: 270 to 1.
    Getting colon / rectal cancer: 26 to 1.
    Getting cancer: 7 to 1.

    So it's pointless to let all of the paranoia get to you! You have better odds of getting butt cancer before being kicked out of EPN. So that must mean something!:)

    Yes, it means your numbers are way off. I know at least 10 people that have been removed from ePN for bullshit reasons and I know ZERO people with butt cancer. So that must mean something.
