    Default eBay splits from Commission Junction

    Just got an email from eBay stating that they will not be using CJ after April 1.

    "The new platform will go live on April 1st, 2008 PST, at which point eBay will no longer be running its affiliate program through Commission Junction. Beginning April 1st, affiliates should register with eBay Partner Network and migrate their links from CJ to the new platform."

    Can phpBay or BANS be modified for this eventuality?

    Good news! I have wanted to use ebay but didn't want to sign up with cj again. I gave up on them years ago. It was painful trying to find a workable advertiser.

    I'm sure fixes will be made, but ouch this is going to cause some huge headaches for those who advertise them.

    Crap, just put up an ebay auction site.

    Hope not on auction ads.
    Waiting payment from them now.
    For something I never really liked, or got excited about, it is doing great on the couple of sites I have them on.

    For those of us using the ebay api to build our sites, this will only be a matter of changing a line of code. There will be a month grace period anyway to give people a chance to fix their sites.

    Everyone using pirated copies of software like BANS and PHPbay will likely be screwed by this, however.

    I assume eBay didn't like giving CJ a chunk of their profits. So perhaps this will lead to slightly higher commissions for affiliates? Probably not since this is feebay we're talking about, they just increased their revenue once again.
