Rejected by EPN. What should I do?

Well, after submitting a my 3 year old, completely clean website and blog to EPN in the hopes of approval, the eBay partner network rejected my application without being too specific as to why I was not accepted.

My intention was to setup a few phpBay sites, based on some niche market research that I have been doing lately. I have already purchased some niche domain names (expired domains, nicely aged with pre-established backlinks). I was waiting on EPN approval before putting much more work into these sites.

So, with my rejection letter in hand, I suppose I have a choice to make... Should I:

A) Scrap the whole plan and move on to other ideas?
B) Reapply with the same website?
C) Build a completely different website and reapply with that one?
D) Use my existing Amazon affiliate account to proceed with my plan?
E) Insert your own answer here: ____________________________

If anyone wants to see what see the website I used to apply with, it is:

aspencomputerservices(dot)com

My website gets anywhere from 25 to 30 hits per day, so it's not a real traffic magnet, but it does okay. Before I applied, I removed all banners and took out any affiliate links in the text. I also upped my domain registration up to 2015, because I heard that EPN likes to see a longer registration.

If anyone can tell me why they think my website failed the inspection, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Hi

    They are dissapproving left and right for weird reasons.

    Move over to Amazon.

      Thanks for the reply. I've thought about whether or not to use EPN anyway, since they recently changed their policy concerning the "quality" of the clicks.

      I just liked the idea of being able to review a product, and then list auctions that contain the product. Powerful combo.

      Belonging to the EPN seems almost essential if you're trying to find a niche with ultra low competition and hard to find products. Amazon isn't going to have as much of a selection. Overstock, either.

    Hi,

    First off, I understand this is your business website. So at first glance (and that's about all you get with EPN), there's no obvious connection to eBay products. I see a lot of services, but nothing that would lead me to buying something on eBay.

    Second, your whois info is a little strange, with the registrant listed as N/A and Powweb as your technical contact. Any way to clean that up?

    You could try fixing the whois and asking for a reevaluation, also making sure they understand your business plan. If that doesn't work, you could go with a different website that you create for that purpose.
