I tried to join the EPN several months ago, but was rejected. Has anyone had success re-applying? I only got the "canned" rejection, so i have no idea why they rejected me. My site is almost 10 years old, with 19,000 registered users. I did very well with the old ShoppingAds program that worked with eBay, and I do well with Google AdSense. Any ideas?
Another option is just to forget about Ebay and start a store on Ioffer.com Marketplace and not have to pay all the listing fees on stuff that's not going to sell fast unless you only charge .25 cents profit over what you paid for it. No listing fees on Ioffer. Free store on Ioffer. Even though Ioffer doesn't have the traffic Ebay does, Ebay doesn't have all the second hand stuff they used to have. The traffic on Ioffer is building though. Took big jumps in the last couple of months. You'll have time on Ioffer to advertise and build up your reputation without the pressure of paying all those expensive Ebay listing fees.
1. Sell like products at the same time. Bidders look to see what else you have for sale they might be interested in. Combined shipping saves postage for the buyer. Packing in the same box saves time and packing costs for the seller. 2. Bundle a less desirable item with a more desirable item increases sales. This is an old offline auction technique. If the bidder wants the better item he has to buy both. If two sellers offer the same item, the buyer bids on the two item auction. Bundling two low cost items together also increases bids. A buyer may not be willing to pay shipping for one item, but would for two. 3. Remember seasonal issues. Don't sell snow skis in July, water skis in January. Be sure to offer seasonal items early enough to allow for shipping. Don't expect to sell many Christmas items that must be shipped during the second week of December. 4. Understand profit margins. Don't buy to resell for only a $5 profit when you can make $20 on a different item. Determine your desired monthly income and choose products appropriately. 5. Don't forget back end sales and secondary products. Offer similar products during the payment process or on your auction store/web site. 6. The List - For many successful online sellers the mailing list is where their money is made. Using a autoresponder, sellers automatically email customers on their list at regular intervals. Including content with announcements of upcoming sales increases back end sales. 7. Customer demographics should be considered. Collectors have expectations non-collectors don't. Example, some book buyers that are allergic like to see "book from non-smoking home" in ad. This would earn you a higher bid. 8. Auction terms and conditions should be included with each auction.

It's important to understand eBay's commission structure so that you'll have a reasonable expectation of what to expect in terms of potential revenue. eBay pays out affiliate revenues for two things: 1. Links that convert when a New "active" user registration occurs. The new user must either use Buy It Now or place a bid within 30 days of initial registration to be considered active. 2. Links from which a user bids on an item or uses Buy It Now (BIN)
I made my first wage online by showing others how to profit from selling niche items on eBay and five years on there is still vast profits to be made out of eBay if you put the effort in. Before I built a single webpage eBay was my vice it paid for everything that I wanted or needed and allowed me to have fun making money online. I made lots of friends with fellow sellers and had an absolute ball the only thing that upset me was the fees that were been ripped away from me in the form of eBay sellers fees. I had a shop and used to use the shop to get subscribers on my list when I very first started building a profitable mailing list. Get started on eBay by visiting http://www.the-wiggly-worm.com.

EPN hard to get accepted..... makes it even harder when an affiliate tries to sell aa approved site, the new buyer cannot be guaranteed of acceptance in the program.
