As promised, eBay has launched their new. “in house” affilite program, the eBay Partner Network. Earlier this year, eBay announced they would be removing their affiliate program from Commission Junction and launching their own program. While there are mixed emotions in the affiliate and developer communities over this move, it’s probably better in the long run that ePN has been launched.
I signed up for the ePN and within a few hours my application was approved. Within 10 minutes I had my first links built and I was ready to start changing my Commission Junction style links over to the new ePN format. One of the things that impressed me most was that ePN has added the ability to embed a Channel ID and a Custom ID in the URL for tracking purposes. Thumbs up to ePN for thinking like an affiliate marketer on that one.
If you’re an existing member of the eBay program with Commission Junction or if you’re new to eBays affiliate program, you can get more information at eBay Partner Network

I’m going to have to check out eBay’s new affiliate program. I’ve been looking at another way to monetize my sites. Do you have any recommendations on how to maximize results?

Are people making a good income from eBay affiliate program?
I completed my transfer and I do have to add that the new interface directly to ebay is great. Having an affiliate store that is dynamic is a great way to keep your site fresh and ebay is one of the best ways to do that.
However, places like amazon have the widgets and such that make it easy and you never had that through CJ. Now you do and it really is easy. Way to go ebay!
