eBay Partner Network Changes it’s pay out model

Written by Cindy on August 19, 2009 – 10:30 am -

Starting October 1st 2009 eBay Affiliate publishers (people who send traffic to eBay for a commission) will be paid ‘per click’ instead of ‘per sale.’
This news was delivered in my email inbox today. The new program called ‘Quality Click Pricing’ is so confusing and controversial that within a few hours I received a follow up email from Steve Hartman – who runs the EPN program to explain (or defend) the plan more clearly. I must admit, on the face of this new structure, I’m not pleased – but, time will tell if it will benefit publishers.
I think my reaction might be less negative if they already had in place their promised comparison tool – which eBay stated they’ll roll out sometime later this month. I don’t mean to ‘rag’ on eBay – but when have they ever released a tool on time? And, it makes me especially bitter after reading, the announcement just this week about the eBay Store Traffic Reports that;  ‘yes, we know the traffic reports are broken, they have been for several weeks – and won’t be fixed until mid-September.”
Meanwhile, I’m studying the new material provided, reading the boards, and plan on attending the live webinar on Friday. If you’d like to attend here’s the information:
