The most likely reason for rejections are:
1) It looks like you want to be an ODP editor purely to list your own sites, or
2) You've applied for a category that's too large or difficult for a newbie editor to start with.
You won't get rejected if you run an affiliate site - you will have to declare all your sites (no matter what they are) as an "affiliation" though.
However, pure affiliate marketing sites aren't eligible for a listing, so if you applied to edit a category where you have an affiliate site that could be listed then that would probably be grounds for rejection. Also, shopping and B2B categories are really for experienced editors only because of the issues of spotting affiliates, dropshippers, mirrors and just plain spam.
If you really *are* interested in becoming an ODP editor, then you should pick a smaller category that you have an interest in, either a topical area or perhaps your locality. Locality editing is quite fun and easy to do, and it's often a stepping stone to other things.
However.. if you just want to get an affiliate site listed, don't bother. Every editor can see what every other editor is doing and misuse of editing priveleges usally gets found out quite quickly.
