eBay has announced they will be leaving Commission Junction for good by the end of this month. As from 1st April they will be using their own in-house affiliate program. Current eBay affiliates have up unitl May 1st to migrate all of your links to the eBay Partner Network so there is ample time.

“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 tte new platform.”

Just when I started using the Build A Niche Store BANS type scripts and made a new brandable report. I guess I will just have to update those links all over again and send out a note to all current ebook owners.

That reminds me to add a link to each page at the footer to owners to check for
updates whether they have subscribed for the free report or not. Hopefully this will
solve the problem of me having to rely on email contact.

So if you’re a BANS owner or use any other eBay scripts using the Commission Junction ID keep abreast of the new affiliate problem so you can update your links in good time.

I can’t say I will miss CJ in any way. But I’m so glad I haven’t used raw links in my
report. All I need to do is go into my htaccess file and update one link. Phew!
