I have a question re:ebay & hubpages.  I had an account w/ebay before and canceled, but my question is how would we generate revenue through ebay with writing hubs?
adrienne

The eBay affiliate program is all new, and the accounts there are separate from the eBay auction site.  You can generate revenue from eBay on hubs simply by adding an eBay capsule to your hub.  If someone clicks on a product from your hub, and goes on to sign up for an eBay account or make an eBay purchase, they will pay you a commission.

so when you say ebay capsule is this simply me writing about a particular item on ebay, or am I copy and pasting a ebay product code and adding it to my hub? 

Thanks for answering my question!

No there is an actual ebay capsule separate from the text one for your writing! In the edit panel on the right you will see text/video/rss/amazon/ebay - select an ebay capsule, change the search to bring something up and save !

Not to my knowledge, but I'd suggest contacting them directly.  It's a very new program for them, so there may be some hiccups as they shake the bugs out of their code and their process.  If you get a response from them, please share with us what you find.  Thanks.

Hi Paul

I contacted Ebay  Customer Service. They asked me whether  I have an account with Commission Junction or not. I said yes. They asked me for my ID of Ebay. I gave them this info. They investigated and told me that my application can't be accepted at this time and moreover they can't disclose the reason for rejecting my application. Its against their policies. They also said that I should try to fill application again in a few months' time becaue they re-evaluate their criteria for acceptance and rejection quite often.

Now what do you have to say about this matter?

What would you suggest me?

Waiting for reply,

Lissie--

I took a look at your hubs I get the picture. I am more of a visual person. Thanks!

That's unfortunate, but there isn't much you can do but follow their instructions.  It is their program, they get to decide the rules (although it would be nice if they actually published the rules).  In the mean time, I would suggest that you remove all the eBay capsules from your hubs or replace them with Amazon capsules.

We're hoping to enhance our "shopping" capsule offerings in the next few months.  We haven't figured out exactly how yet, but there will likely be at least one new choice of affiliate partners.

They check all your details, not just username and email address. He'd have to sign up with a different physical address and he'd have to have a bank account that matched that physical address. I'm sure they also check IP address and actually it is probably the IP addresses that they are using for these auto-rejections. While they are refusing to say why they are rejecting people it is very clear from the anecdotal evidence available in a variety of forums that country of residence is the main issue for most of these rejections.

I've had less clicks and buys, I think, but I had about 5 sales or so. Only 1 sale was actually related to the hub that had the click. I've gotten like 4 car parts purchased from my ebay capsules, so that's been nice earners. Ha.

I hope it picks up. Congrats Jimmy.

This sounds great Paul! I can't wait to find out what program you choose.

I've signed up and have a bunch of friends who want to join. Is there a referrer ID giving you a benefit if they sign up under you?

Are you talking about ebay?

right all my friends use the cj program from ebay, so I know when ebay leaves them in May, the are going to sign up!

Hmmm, IDK then, I skimmed their site and did not see any referral program... All info that I can see is here https://www.ebaypartnernetwork.com/Publ … ogram_id=1
