send junk traffic to your page that you dont stuff
if i use forum image stuffing my ctr is 100 %
I redirect image to ebay,and it gives a click for each redirect, how to redirect to increase only impressions and no clicks?
can i redirect trafic from other sites, that are not mine, like forums?
and will ebay detect it
is ebay gonna ban me if the CTR is 100 %

So let me get this straight.
You're stuffing forums using an img tag? Are you also displaying the banner from e*bay? Why not do as Orebil suggested and not display the image from e*bay (which is how they track impressions)? That way, you're using text links and there are no impressions to worry about.
If, for whatever reason, you insist on using their impression tracking picture, then just send junk traffic to a non-stuffing page that displays that banner, like crsk8andsno56 said?
I mean, it seems pretty simple, and you've gotten some good answers, so I don't see where the confusion is...

i'm gettin paid with no issues, even ebay tells you the banner is optional, use a text link.
by the way this is going to be the least of your concerns because your refferer is going to show up from the forum which is why i wouldn't be stuffing forums for epn.
besides that all you have to worry about is keeping your epc low. The trick to that is getting some junk traffic, anyone know of a real cheap real junky traffic source?

but how will they calculate epc if I will not have any impressions?
now my epc is like 0.92
Any more ideas
Can you somehow divert traffic from forums and move that traffic from one page to another with redirects?
so you are not stuffing the forums?

epc is earnings per click, actually earnings per 100 clicks
impressions is a count for every time the banner is shown/seen/displayed.
say every time someone goes to your page that banner is displayed, and you stuff them. well that means if a 1000 people see that banner you will get 1000 clicks and 1000 impressions, so you're telling egay "hey every single time someone sees my cute egay banner they click it, can you believe it, every time, no shit"...sure...
Now if you're controlling how often you stuff people then it's different but it's still a headache don't use it, don't need to, put up a text link to your affiliate if they come check.
I'm stuffing forums for affiliate products that allow forum marketing, and to drive traffic to my site(s).

My mistake. Sometimes my fingers move faster than my brain.
CTR is not a big issue .
