WTF is this message I get from eBay today??
Thank you for your message.
Our goal in affiliate marketing is to allocate our resources to best
drive incremental demand to our sellers. We have been analyzing our
program closely over the last few months. In addition to looking at
earnings per click metrics (EPC), we look at a variety of metrics to see
how users are behaving when they come to eBay.com - how engaged they are
with our site, and whether the affiliate link clicks lead to incremental
buying activity. As we've done this, we have seen a big discrepancy in
how interested and active the traffic is that comes to eBay from
different sources.
As a result, we have asked a small subset of affiliates to stop sending
traffic to eBay. We understand that these actions do have a very real
impact on some of you who have been working with us over the years. For
that, we sincerely apologize, but these decisions are made in the best
interest of eBay's sellers and the overall health of our affiliate
program. We also want to clarify that you are not being asked to stop
sending traffic to us due to fraudulent activity or violations of the
terms of service. You will get paid for all the valid traffic sent to
date, and for the next 7 days.
At this time, we unfortunately cannot reconsider our decision on your
account. We will contact you again if we see an opportunity to work
together again in the future.

| I really don't see that as an option. I've been using EPN through PepperJam Network but now I'm rethinking my involvment with EPN after reading all the people's stories about being banned. Usually when people get banned, there's usually some real hidden truth that they were doing something wrong but this time there's just too many different people lashing out at EPN for me to believe that the publishers are all to blame. |

i would tend to agree the option of a class action seems futile in my opinion and the options of credible affiliate earnings would tend to send me away from EPN anyway.
If ebay and their affiliations choose this path, there is little of value, in seeking compensation in my opinion.
unfortunately ebay doesnt need much affiliation promotion in my opinion |
