I can't show you my sites, and anyway I have been in EPN for a long time, and I did not need any sites to get accepted at the time.

But I will give you some advice on why you probably got refused:

firstly, your site looks nice enough but it is not working right now (I looked at it in the Google cache) - you will get refused straight away if they can't open your site! OK, I am sure it's "under construction", but I have to mention that!

Secondly - big problem, and this is probably the main reason you got refused - your site is some kind of PLR package. It does not have any original content on there. I can't say 100%, but I believe EPN will reject a site like that as it does not add any value to the Internet and does not hold the promise of much traffic or sales.

Thirdly, you have other ads on the site - I would advise not having other advertising on your site when you are seeking approval for EPN. It is not forbidden by their TOS, but I doubt they will be very encouraged by seeing you promoting other stuff too.

I wrote quite a long article about how to get into the eBay Partner Network (you can see it in my sig), but in short, I know one of the types of site EPN like is the "hobby" type where there is a lot of good material, written by enthusiasts on a given topic, and where there is potential to promote related products that sell on eBay (I think I used the example of "cheesemaking" in my article!)

With the subject of solar power, you would ideally be a amateur solar power enthusiast, you would write from the heart about the subject, you would post article about your amateur solar power projects, etc. etc. and along the way you would recommend different products, or show eBay listings (using a good plugin ) relating to that subject area.

But I am guessing that is not really you... Better pick something you are interested in.

The only other way would be to create a real authority site on the subject, but I don't think that is realistic for most people applying to EPN.

Maybe I didn't help much, but it's the reality...
