eBay is increasing the payout to members of its Affiliate Program effective June 1, 2007, but is disallowing paid-search traffic purchased from Google, Yahoo and MSN for its US members. eBay's Affiliate Program allows third-parties to earn revenue for driving bidders and buyers to eBay listings.
US only from 1st June but will surely come to UK soon enough.
I think that eBay are making a big mistake by not allowing affiliates to use paid search traffic. I don't think eBay can run a huge network by them self, but maybe I'm wrong and they have a different plan
yikes.. get ready for a torrent of desparate ex ebay affiliates looking for other stuff to spank ! ... good for merchants.. bad for other affs I guess..
although with some of the quality I've seen in the past they'll be bidding on loan traffic and sending it to flowers

From the email I received eBay is only stopping PPC where the link is direct to the
eBay US site - and only on the three sites mentioned (Google, MSN, Yahoo).
People promoting eBay using PPC with their own landing page should'nt be effected.
Will obviously effect quite a lot of people but may help others I guess.
