Personally I think Ebay have completely lost the plot and have lost any real interest in their affiliates. Their last 2 commission changes 6 - 8 weeks ago conveyed the story that they have become so obsessed with their own self importance that they have forgotten that their affiliates helped to pu them where they are today - hence I dumped them. Who needs stats pages full of 5 p commissions that are simply removed the next day. I think that Ebay are trying to use the CJ system in a way it was'nt really intended to be used.
I have much praise for Amazon who have shown that they realise the importance of their affiliates and continue to try and find new ways to help and incentivise them - unlike Ebay who are becoming very complacent. If fact I wouldn't be surprised if we see Amazon at some stage come out with an auction offering that is in direct competition to Ebay, and when that happens they will give the Ebay butt some real kicking....i can't wait, because if anyone has the wherewithall to challenge Ebay, Amazon is it.
