    With all the money have not seemingly paid, I don't think they will be going out of business either... they just made a fortune by NOT paying soooo many people that are not you. ;) :p

    They shut my account Feb. 5th due to low sales volume and promised to pay what had accrued to that point.

    Here are their exact words:
    Nothing from them yet. Previously, they paid out on the 26th of the month. So let's see!

    Heather,

    You're not alone - I just logged in about 5 minutes ago and found in small red text "Your account has been banned.". No rules or Terms of Service was violated in any way - simple took the ad code they supplied from their site and placed it on my websites. No tricks, no scams, yet they've canceled my account as well.

    I'm in the process of updating my ads all to eBay Partner Network now.

    Woa.. Same here. I just logged in and it says "Your account has been banned". No explanation... etc.

    I only logged in because my banner was no longer showing. I don't see their "live ads" showing any more. Maybe ebay finally shut them down? I wish I had received an email. I was owned a good sum too... I hope I get it. All legit here too, so I see no reason for the shut down.

    Removed it all from the site as I didn't want dead links (they still worked, but with the banners not showing, I didn't want to chance the rest going down).

    Anyone fire off an email yet?

    I've sent them an email but un-surprisingly I haven't heard anything from them. It normally takes 2-3 days before I get a reply any other time I've emailed them.

    Please understand that ShoppingAds did not steal your money. Your money vanishing was the sole action of Steve Hartman, the idiot director of the EPN (eBay Partner Network). He has ruined many of the super affiliate programs associated with EPN.

    You can search DP for Hartman's contact info. Give him a call.

    When your stats on that super affiliate programs associated with EPN stay you have money, and you never get that money, it's really hard to blame anyone other then what the logo says on top of those stats, in this case, Shoppingads. There are several people that never got their signup bonus (from over a year ago) as well as stories of vanishing stats and other instances of non-payment....so it's really hard to blame anyone but SA for most of us.
