Those of us doing ebay EPN...

I have about 10 phpbay sites that I built 2-3 years ago. They had all tanked after the EPN algorithm changes and I had just ignored them since that time.

They have somehow made a resurgence in 2011 but my earnings seem to rely heavily on site performance the first couple days of the month. My EPC last month was more than triple the EPC this month and none of the sites are seasonal.

Is this happening to anyone else? If I could keep the EPC up where it was in Feb, I would put some more time and resources towards building out the sites.

Yeah, mine will do great if I get some good sales at the start of the month. But, if I go a few days with no winning bids, my EPC drops to $0.01 and then to $0.00. Once you hit $0 EPC, it doesn't matter if you get 5 sales the day after, you're stuck there for a few days until there's repetitive activity for several days. Even then, it's hard to get back up to a decent EPC once you've hit 0.

I'm building out a ton of sites to test where the threshold for this is.
