Anyone else noticing an increase in bids through epn?

    I've gotten more bids in the first week of this month than i got all of last month . I went for almost 3 weeks straight in may with zero bids. I wonder if ebay fixed something, or i just hit a really bad spell last month.

    You must be the only one. Just when I think it can't get any worse... it does :(

    My bids and winning bids seem to increase in june too. I have sales almost everyday in june. Contrary in May I had many days without even a single bid.

    Yes, mine seem to be improving. And I noticed a strange effect where sales are registering in my transaction report, even though they don't appear in the web-based reports! In fact there are 3 times more sales in there!! What gives? I wonder if they are sneakily making good some lost sales from May. Because if the trends continues (and ACRUs make a recovery) I will probably be safe to say things are back to normal...

    Completely opposite for me. I was doing relatively well in EPN until this month. I've had TWO bids all month and clicks are way down as well. In fact, I haven't received a click since June 7. Traffic to my sites has remained steady. I've been selling on eBay for 10 years as well and it seems like every time eBay takes over something they mess it up and then make excuses. Bah!

    my stats appear to be improving ie last month several $0 days, this moth none yet. also even only ten days in there does seem to be more consistency with revenue compared to clicks, last month there was no correlation between the two.

    maybe the sun is slowly appearing over the horizon!

    I notice the same thing. I have two sales a few days ago on the same day, at the exact same time to the second, that are in the transaction report but not showing on the Dashboard Account Summary. They are both Buy it Now from the same buyer.

    And yes I am experiencing the same pattern. Sales almost daily now and some ACRU.

    Yea, I think things are slipping back into place now. Not a single bad day this month.

    Weird. OK, I figured out the simultaneous-sale thing - of course, it's someone clicking through and buying more than one thing, but I'd never had someone buy 10 items in one go before!! Also the end dates don't match up with the actual sale date of the item, when you check it on eBay... Strange, I just hope these figures will be taken into account - after all, they are supposed to be the finalised, posted figures!

    Hell no! Bids haven't increased one iota. Man I miss that eBay/CJ connection. This in-house error Prone Network sucks :(

    Same here with more sales in the transaction report than in the web report, like double. Seems pretty flaky to me that they can't get that right.

    Still not a single ACRU since switching over to EPN. That's BS. I used to get a couple every week.

    Ugghhh, if you actually bothered to read the TOS, Manual and all documentation in EPN you will see that in your transaction reports you see the TOTAL REVENUE ebay made from the sale. You only get a percentage of that depending on what tier you are on and what program you are running. (50% is starting percentage if promoting the US program).

    Why can't people read and understand what they are promoting? It's kind of scary.

    I must have spoke too soon and jinxed myself. Zero bids since the 10th, yet my clicks are higher than ever. :(

    So on those days that the web report shows $0 and transaction reports show sales what is going on? Oh pedantic one who is so scared.

    I'm seeing my best month so far, and had my first over $100 day a couple of days ago. Seems to me to be getting better.
