I've just completed the setup for my new eBay affiliate forum and would like to invite all current or prospective eBay affiliates to the forum to start discussing the program. http://www.ebayaffiliateforum.com/ In return, for every affiliate commission made through this eBay affiliate forum, a lucky forum member will receive 50% of the sales commissions!! The more you post the better your chances are to earn the commissions. I also plan to offer certain eBay affiliate products for a startup competition once the forum gets off the ground. Join up now and help me jump start the community! http://www.ebayaffiliateforum.com/
Yes it may, but I'm going to push the fact that it's the unofficial forums and if a dispute comes, then I will transfer to another domain I have waiting in the wings that is non-ebay trademarked.
ouch.. why do people even buy trademark domains.. bad move i say. and ur better offf starting again with new domain. ebay can come down hard on you if they and when they want to
I agree with everyone. I'd cut your losses now, and sell that domain to a sucker. Googie, MS, and eBay are big boys. You don't want to mess with any of them.
You'll lose all your backlinks, and a have a hell of a time 301ing everything to the new domain. Plus any branding and domain familiarity/memorability will go down the drain. Most eBay affiliates won't exactly feel comfortable posting on a board that is violating eBay's trademark policy.
It's brand new and has no backlinks, etc. I'll switch the domain and re-advertise with hopefully better results. Let me know if you have any better suggestions, sell off, or re-brand.
did ebay contacted you? i registered 123ebay.com a few years ago... their lawyers contacted me in 3 days after registration...lol..
