Ditching eBay partner network

[Nova]

from my site. I get about 20 clicks a day through to ebay from my site and the epc has always been low but it suddenly dropped to 0. I contacted them and they say its based on the quality of the click through and how many people buy. I always felt the money per click I got from this network was a lot less then what I get through my G ads but the products I advertised fitted my site well.

Since I'm sending people to ebay and getting nothing back for it I am going to ditch it and replace it with more G ads.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

There's other threads on the topic on AD but this is why you've experienced the big 0 drop

Thanks for the link. A quote from the link "Bidders must bid on an item in the 24 hours after a click to the site in order for you to receive credit." That's not going to work for me a lot of buyers in my category will bookmark something they see or place a snipe on it.

As Duncan Bannatyne would say "Am out"

It really is bad, is there actually anybody better off with this new pricing?

You aren't wrong. Their staff just keep saying how they have done it to help the programme but they are just pretty much getting free traffic now with the bidding system.

My sites have not done too bad to be honest, the earnings are not as regular as the past but the one off earnings far out weigh the older style ones.

IMO I think its a must you only show buy it now ads, to greater the chance of a SALE within the 24 hour cookie period. And to promote HIGH PRICED items!
