Hi all, I was wondering because I just got approved in EPN, can we use youtube to promote some product from ebay, paste tracking link in the description and earn like that ?

    You went to ebay and applied to be an affiliate. When you did that they have a Terms of Service that when signing up you had to agree to. Did you read it. Also during the sign up process you were told where to get support. Did you use that information?

    Or, did you just run to the Warrior Forum to get your post count up with a question that should be asked elsewhere

      A bit harsh. I think it's a fairs question to ask given that the TOS of ebay is very lengthy. If WF members have experienced this before what's wrong with any member accessing this support? There's no law about asking a perfectly legit question IMO

  • Well, if it's this:
    Prohibited Promotional Methods and Promotional Methods requiring prior written approval:
    1. Prohibited Promotional Methods: You will not engage in, and will not receive compensation for Promotional Methods and behaviors that are expressly disallowed below:
      1. All eBay Programs disallow any traffic from Promotional Content or Links served by ad networks or any other agents if it is linked directly to an eBay domain. This includes, but is not limited to the use of pop-ups and pop-unders to display Promotional Content or Links. However, linking from these paid placements to a non-eBay domain is allowed as long as you do not immediately or automatically redirect the end user to the eBay sites and services.
      2. All eBay Programs disallow the placement of Promotional Content or Links in any paid search results from any search engine, including but not limited to Google.com, Yahoo.com or MSN.com, or the parallel domains for those properties, or from any of their content networks (such as Google AdSense, Yahoo! Publisher Network or MSN ContentAds), if it is linked directly to an eBay domain. However, linking from a paid search placement to a non-eBay domain is allowed as long as you do not immediately redirect the end user to the eBay sites and services. If you buy traffic to your sites through sponsored links, you must ensure that all campaigns have the domains found here added to their list of excluded sites.
      3. All eBay Programs disallow Promotional Content placed on an eBay website itself (for example, in your listings, your "About Me" page, your store or the eBay message boards).
      4. All eBay Programs disallow Promotional Content that promotes listings or behavior that are in breach of eBay's policies.
      5. All eBay Programs disallow redirecting end users from the eBay website to an Affiliate's website where one of the possible outcomes of this redirection is that the end user clicks back to the eBay website via a Link that places a cookie for the Affiliate.
    then I don't see anywhere how getting leads from youtube video directly to ebay is prohibited

      You left out the part where I mentioned their support. Did you ask them??? Who do you think would have a better answer for you??? Ebay support or a bunch of speculating warriors

        As a long time member of EPN let me state EPN support is virtually nonexistent. So perhaps a speculating Warrior who is not a member of the program shouldn't be suggesting that.

        This would also be a place to get a faster response.

        I'm not sure why anyone who has a question needs to be torched for asking for help. If you think it's a dumb question just move on to the next thread and let someone else help them out.

        .

        No I didn't ask them. I asked here because I was pretty sure that someone who is in EPN and knows the answer will enter this thread and reply. And so it happened, thanks

    EPN now lets you use links on sites you do not own. This is a change from prior policy.

    That said, my post does not mean you could not lose your YouTube account doing that, or that your time is effectively spent doing this. EPN is unlike other affiliate programs due to the auctions, limited time product listings, and only having a 24 hour cookie.

  • It should be in ebay terms and services.

    I don't see why not
