    Hello,

    Does anyone know why eBay declined my application? Where can I read about eBay requirements?

    Thank you

    It seems eBay rid out everyone outside US.... I do not understand what is the problem... I have cj, ebay and paypal account... why I am not suitable for their affiliate program?!?!!? It is very strange for me....

    OK. I have to forget about BANS. What’s next? Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I'm from Singapore. They even declined my application for ebay.com.sg. No big deal since their commissions are not that much either.

    You could also try emailing eBay and telling them that your traffic is all from the USA.

    I have had a similar problem but not with Ebay - my sites have been declined but they never give a reason. Does anyone have any suggestions about what is a good thing to "say" when making the application to CJ?

    I have the same problem with ebay. I'm from another country so I know that is the reason.

    I have a question about Bans though, does it work only with ebay? I mean are there other advertisers in CJ that I can use bans with.

    Also, do you know other script like bans that I can use with any advertisers in CJ?

    From my experience, auto declines are mostly based on location (not being in the USA). I've also been declined (manually) for not having a privacy policy in the past.

    You can try emailing the advertiser and telling them that your site is targeted towards the US, and most of your traffic is from the US.

    LIke others say, the issue may be your location (non US).

    It happened to me too. I emailed CJ, eBay to no avail. Many have similar experiences too.

    Try applying to eBay UK, they accepted me regardless of my location.

    I have applied to a program listed both at CJ and COPEAC. CJ declined me immediately, COPEAC approve me.

    I’ve contacted several CJ advertisers manually but they do not accept my application at all… May be it is time to rid out CJ…

    Hello, I didn't know that ebay cares about the country..
    My sites are in all in Japanese with one english page to explain, I had no problem being accepted by ebay affiliates. (3 web sites, all written in Japanese)

    I suppose becuase I live in US, it really doesn't matter the content?
    But I do belive as Kerosen says, ebay's privacy policy does matter.
