Dear Affiliate,

This new release incorporates additional reporting functionality to more easily track your traffic's performance on eBay, as well as a new Campaign Quality Report that will help you determine the quality of new registered users you send to the US program. As of November 1st, ACRUs payouts for all publishers in the US program will calculated using these quality tiers. For a full description of all the new features in this release, please check out our blog post about it from last Friday.


Please also note that the Network Agreement and Advertiser Terms and Conditions have been updated with this release. Please review these documents thoroughly to make sure you fully understand the updated policies. Some updates you may want to pay special attention to include:

- The eBay UK and eBay FR programs now allow eBay sellers to become affiliates (in their programs.)

The updated Network Agreement and Advertiser Terms and Conditions will go into effect for existing publishers on September 19th.

was bound to happen sooner or later

I wonder how they will determine what traffic is redirected.. And what can be done to 'resolve' that issue..

Does this mean my cookie stuffing venture has ended before it even started?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah its over it will be almost impossible to CS egay without getting caught.

Me too...can't seem to figure out what they're talking about here.

Stuffing Auctions and Ebay forms will no longer work ! Thats pretty much it

thats about how I read it. When I got the email.

I'm sure theres ways around. But when there specifically stating it, then I'm sure somone fessed up and told them something they shouldnt.

C'est finit!

Does that mean you guys should stop today or stop by the 19th?

auctiva is no more then, eh?

lol.
noobs



so, how would they know someone visited their site before yours?
sessions.
cookies.
ip tracking.

it's not rocket science people.
User vists egay.com/auction/large_giant_dildo-@@@@LOOOK@@@@ , etc.

egay sets up a session for them, sets a cookie with what time they arrived , tracking info, whatever..

you're stuffing the dildo auction, so their computer hits your rover link..
egay looks at the session, says OH WAT? Theyz wuz just at egay.com 2 minutes ago?! WAT??! already been herez? oh snap! no credit for joo mr black hat noob with elite script you paid 500$ for.
etc.

I was Dreading this day, but I guess we have to know that BH techniques are Temporary and a quick money maker....and it looks as if this is exactly what it was in this case.

What did everyone think was going to happen? I mean i can't believe everyone went around selling this stuff. If those in the loop would have kept quiet, they could have went on making thousands a week for years to come.

Oh if thats the case then the change would not affect me as I was not stuffing auctions (I was stuffing my own sites). Oh wait I don't have a EPN account anymore.

Thanks Einstein. As usual your condescending response in about 97% of your posts is just a breath of fresh air...douche.
