eBay Partner Network Important Information

	Important Information

Dear Ricky Kimble Sr,

As we announced on our blog post on Apr 22nd, we will be rolling out the newest feature and tool release with several upgrades for eBay Partner Network on May 1st. This upgrade includes:

• New functionality for the Link Generator tool
• The ability to link your eBay account with your eBay Partner Network account
• A new way to calculate earnings per click (they are now calculated as earnings per one click vs. per 100 clicks)
• New business model descriptions (to help us provide you with better customer service tailored to your model when possible)

Please read more about each of these enhancements in this post.

Please note a few more things about this release:

• Conversion data may update a bit later than usual in the day during the rollout and a few days after (from May 1st to May 5th)
• The category report will be unavailable during the afternoon of May 1st as we roll out the upgrades (from approximately 1pm to 6pm PST)
• We will be updating some our click filtering system to include a few additional known bots. This will not affect most publishers, although a few may see a drop in their click numbers

Finally, please note that as of July 1st, we will be winding down our partnership with publishers who directly promote eBay through three types of business models: tier-2 paid search, ad networks, and sub-affiliates. Please read the details about our decision and exactly who it will impact here.

If you have any questions on this, please contact customer service through this link: ePN-cs-english@ebay.com.

Your eBay Partner Network Account

Dear Ricky Kimble Sr,

After a review of our publisher accounts, we have found that the eBay Partner Network account registered under this e-mail address has been dormant for an extended period of time. As part of our efforts to dedicate as many resources as we can to active accounts, we plan to expire this inactive account on February 8, 2009.

Even though this account has been dormant, we ask that you remove any affiliate links that may be associated with it as you will not be paid for any activity after the account is expired. If your payment and tax information have been entered and your account has generated activity that results in more than five units of your payment currency prior to the account expiration, your pending earnings will be paid by the next payment cycle.

For reference, account closures are covered in the ePN Network Agreement Section (L)(3)(a):

(3) Termination by ePN or an Advertiser
a. ePN may terminate this Agreement and your account, one of your websites, your use of a Promotional Method or your participation in a certain Program at any time for convenience in its sole discretion upon 3 days notice. An Advertiser may terminate your participation in its Program or your use of a Promotional Method at any time for convenience in its sole discretion upon 3 days notice.

We will not be reversing any dormant account expirations at this time, but we invite you to direct any questions to our Customer Service Team by visiting the following address:

Regards,

The eBay Partner Network Team

2009 Changes to Singapore, Hong Kong and India Programs

	Important Information

2009 Changes to Singapore, Hong Kong and India Affiliate Programs

We are making some changes to several of our Asia programs.

We have decided to close down the Singapore and Hong Kong affiliate programs as of February 1, 2009, and make India a more limited invite-only program.

Our Singapore and Hong Kong sites are increasingly focusing their marketing efforts on bringing more sellers, rather than buyers, to their programs. Given that eBay Partner Network is today primarily a buyer-acquisition focused network, we've decided it was best to close these programs for now, until we can better support seller efforts.

Beginning February 1, 2009, we will begin redirecting traffic from geo-targeted affiliate links destined for eBay Hong Kong and eBay Singapore back to eBay.com. Publishers currently geo-targeting traffic to these sites will not have to do anything differently, since we will re-direct this traffic automatically. However, please note that creatives for Hong Kong and Singapore will no longer be available in the eBay Partner Network interface. Publishers not working with these programs will not be affected.

We have also decided to make India a limited invitation-only program. We want to focus in the next few months on growing the Indian program through larger affiliates that have established track records in India or in other emerging countries. Publishers currently accepted in the Indian program will not be affected and will be able to continue to promote the Indian site. New publishers joining eBay Partner Network will no longer see the Indian program as an option upon sign-in and will have to apply separately by contacting customer service if they want to promote the Indian Program.

We expect a minimum impact from these changes given the small number of affiliates currently driving traffic to these countries. If you have concerns or experience any problems during the transition please be sure to let us know by contacting customer service.

Thanks for your continued support!
