Well for those who have been enjoying commission from promoting ebay as an affiliate program through Commission Junction will have heard by now that Ebay is moving to a new inhouse program, where they will run it, instead of through CJ…. they will however be keeping CJ links active for one month upon launch so to make the transition over smoother
So for people using their straight links on their sites or using one of the many Ebay Scripts out there such as
PHPBayPro ( One I use on several of my Sites, also they are well aware of the changes )
