CJ commission from a site running EPN links? WTF?

    I just checked my CJ account, and I got an eBay+CJ commission on May 3rd from one of my EPN sites.

    - The 7 day cookie doesn't explain it, since there hasn't been a CJ link on the site for over a month.
    - I've been through the entire site looking for PID links I may have missed, but I can't find anything.
    - Google's cache of my site doesn't show PID links.

    WTF? Did somebody at eBay accidently flick the switch back to CJ for a few minutes? :eek:

    Yes, I am getting the odd click showing up on CJ too, and I can't find the source for the life of me!

    Ha ha - "the CJ switch", I can just imagine it, a huge comedy lever that they pull in an emergency.

    Talking of the CJ switch, I wonder when DP is going to start a new forum for EPN?!

    Anytime you get unexpected commission... it's a good thing :)

    Although there's a 7 day cookie, I believe that ACRUs are paid if the member has made a sale within 30 days. Is this an ACRU, a bonus, or an item commission? It's impossible for eBay to "flick the CJ switch" because your new code doesn't have anything to do with your CJ PID number.

    I was recently paid a commission from a travel affiliate that I was promoting back in January... However, the project I was working on ended at the end of January and no copy remains in the search engines or in google cache. Although not as crazy as an eBay sale, I also have no idea where the commission origionated from...

    All the pretty commission earnings inside CJ stats does not mean a thing till you get paid.....

    All computer systems make as many mistakes & errors in 1 day.... than a human makes working 365 days.

    :D

    maybe: from google cache page click
    maybe: old sale, not just prove and put back to system
    maybe: ghost

    Looks like it represents the 6.5% withhold. I don't think that's been continued with EPN.

    hey, I just got one as well, actually I got five!

    event date posting date
    30-Apr-2008 23:59 PDT 8-May-2008 08:01 PDT

    from two different sites neither site has any PID information only campaign numbers. and it took 8 days to report in my account.

    long may it continue, I'll take the $$ any which way, but it is puzzling.

    now I'll have to go back to mycjreport.com!!
