Hi Warriors,

I need you suggestions...

Being from a 3rd world country you have to face some little challenges in
IM everyday LOL.... same is with getting signed up with affiliate programs...

As i am good with Wordpress blogs, php and rss stuff, i thought i should make
niche site for ebay and make killings...

My plan was to make this profitable and sell for big bucks..but i am stuck!

I picked the proven and hot niche of all time at ebay: Digital Cameras...
i went for sub-niche i.e. Sony Digital Cameras

Here is the final site I made:
Sony Digital Cameras

I knew eBay affiliate will be hard to get approved for but i was optimistic...
I tried them trough CJ, they rejected....
I tried them with direct application from their partner site...they rejected...
i went through PepperJam Network....lol you know the answer...

My application is auto-rejected , yes some kinda location filter....
But for the time being i have setup Amazon ads on this site...

But i was thinking that eBay affiliate would complete this site
as per original plan...

should i sell this site without any income proof?
or any other options or alternatives for such site?

Would anyone like to buy this site if they can go with Ebay,
i mean i do not know that without earning proof , this site should
have any demand or buyer or good offer for the work already done...

Looking forward to listen suggestions from expert flippers/buyers/seller...

Thanks,
Mohsin

Hi.

I do not think it has anything to do with your location.

I just sold two sites to AU and they both get rejected.

I have heard that Ebay have put some auto rejection on their system, fighting spam sites.

I also heard that the best thing you can do is to call them or send them an email ask them for a new consideration.

Tell them about your site and the purpose of it, and how you intend to promote it.

Maybe thats help.

I have to do that in behalf of my two new customers as well, trying to solv the problem for them.

Good luck.

Mohsin,

Have you tried being an affiliate for Overstock?

I ask because there is a free & paid version of a wordpress plugin to pull overstock items to your website.

The link is here: phpOStock: Build Powerful Affiliate Sites with Wordpress Plugin for Overstock.com

(not an affiliate link).

Hope this helps.

being from Asia and having a site dedicated to being an affiliate is a sure auto-reject from EPN these days. It seems that to get approved these days you need

-1st world country
-Website that doesnt look like a click through affiliate/review site. . (they want to see - this is my tech blog with 100 articles and I am going to put ebay links in the sidebar)

if it makes you feel any better Overstock just autorejected me being based out of Thailand - though I have been legacied in with EPN since the CJ days and continue to perform well.

Nice site btw... I will pay you to build sites like that for me if you are intrested?

There is also the Sony store, Buy.com, and many others that you can join. Don't limit yourself to just one place.
Also, instead of just a review of a product, include a link to actually buy one. Don't make them click on the "Store" section and force them to search through what is displayed.

Another option is join Amazon affiliate program which they do have the products that your site mentioned

I tried to apply last week and got rejected. I just applied with another web site, this time I submitted a community site as my web site. Let's see how it goes. I am from Singapore so I am not sure if my country is in eBay's black list or not.

  I would change the domain name as it's not a good idea to use a brand name.

  A trademark name in your domain name is a sure auto-deny for many affiliate programs.
