Is this unusual? Do you actually drive traffic to the program and make money? I'm not being disrespectful in anyway

This is why I ask:
In the epn blog, they made a bullet point with the roll-out of the preview report functionality
The small group of publishers staying on CPA will see all zeros for the QCP columns in the report. Most publishers in this situation should already have been contacted by e-mail or will be contacted shortly

It seems like they will be keeping a select group of pubs on the CPA model

244% Increase here!
I've made 900 Euros this month with my (abandoned) ebay sites. With the new system I would have made 2200 Euros.

hehehe, I love it!

Ebay is stealing your monies and giving them to me! muahahaha
 
Why can't I figure out how to get the preview?
Where is it in the EPN dashboard?

** Nevermind, found it.

According to the new report I'm seeing nearly a 50% drop in earnings....
Scratch that... they are not showing the whole month in the new report preview
 
Click reports
In the "report type" drop down menu click the last option, all the way at the bottom.
Quality Click Pricing
 
People still push Ebay's crap? I got out of that some 5 years ago. Sounds like the new guy is successfully destroying everything they built up. He jacked the fees, killed the auctions for buy me now and screwed the power sellers and that killed any growth, now he's gonna fuck the affs one more time deep and hard which should kill off most of that source of traffic. Have fun with your gaping a-holes.
 
Yep this is going to start hurting somewhere around jan for them.. time to split test new monetisation methods i.e shopzilla or other channels. Ebay final value fees by themselves are fucking rediculous i mean if you sell an item for 600 bucks you owe them 100 dollars... i mean FUCK ME.. for what for hosting my little auction on their servers. Craigslist should come in and just fuck them over with a dollar hosting plus verification.. some high octane shit.
Ebay final value fees
Change over to pay per click(i was making more per final sale versus this new b.s)
It no longer makes sense to be an ebay powerseller - and the new paypal fees good lord.
If you take paypal now - its almost a recipe for disaster - try selling an iphone on ebay and have a guy mail you back a bricked phone..hahhahaha and take his money through chargebacks. I kid you not.

Fucking ebay.
 
suckers. glad I never did ebay. New terms BLOW. Anyone who stays around for that open ended raping is a moron. Ebay sucks all the way around IMHO...sellers, buyers AND affs...they need a competitor and need it BAD
 
As long as I'm making more than hosting costs, minus one site I buy adspace for, the current sites I maintain will still be around. The site I purchase space for will probably go down the tubes as it was my worst hit at over 57% loss.

I will have to take a good look at all of this after several months to see if any additional seo, advertising costs, and updating is worth the time/$$ spent.

Are you guys looking at the differences in all your campaigns? Or are you just looking at the over all? In other words is there a 50% drop in all of your campaigns? or just some while others stayed the same or increased?

There's a message there.

my big monies/high ticket site dropped about %30

however lots of the smaller sites all erected positively. so in the end I am about the same

leads me to believe that we should send more clicks to smaller priced items.
 
i dont do any ebay but i definately know how bad it stings when the "advertiser" changes payout terms and you lose 50%+ of your epc after you've already put a ton of work into something and gotten everything optimized (in my world its scrubbing) so i just want to extend very heartfelt condolences to you guys. that totally sucks.
 
60% drop for me :( I don't do much there, I just have a site that's been steady running EPN for like 2 years, still sucks though. Maybe I'll stop being lazy and start selling the products directly now..

I think this is the solution.

Every affiliate just jumps onto the high priced items, leaving the smaller priced items to rot. Naturally, ebay is interested in having those promoted as well.

Solution?
Maybe include some smaller priced items in your sites, accessories anyone?
