I've been on the ebay forum and have had no real joy with them.

I just want to know if anyone else is having problems with the new ebay programs, not reporting commissions?

It would seem that way. I don't really have enough data to judge since I just started my site. The first week, I got about $12 in commissions and then converted to EPN and have gotten .33 for the next week.

from my conversation with CJ, and the ebay forum this is what i understand so far.

1)the 'migration' is no such thing. it basically means that you're going t have to change the links from CJ to the new ebay system, manually.

now i have a few sites, some more than a year old. so that's gong to be a lot of work.

2) your old CJ links will be invalid after may 2nd

3) ebay support are fairly sheepish in their response. I've sent 3 emails, they've answered one!

I'll bet Ebay is getting slammed with emails right now. I've read several complaints about commissions being down after the conversion.

It wasn't a big deal to me to change my sites because I don't have that many Ebay affiliate sites and ones that I do have are BANS, so I just had to upload a couple of files and change my id number in one place, but I can see that it could be a big task for those who built their sites in other ways.

i guess it depends on what type of sites you have. now, if its' a one page with traffic from PPC , then changing the links is going to take a few minutes at most.

my concern is my CT and conversion rate. On average I'd have about 40 CT's and 2-3 sales. this hasn't been the case with the new affiliate program. i'm not sure what5 it is, but it doesn't seem to be converting well???
