Ebay Partner Network Problems

by GuerrillaIM
3 replies
I am doing pretty well with ebay partner network using the auction widget, but there are a few problems:

1. Does not display in Google chrome
2. Does not display in IE8 if there is also a youtube video on the page

If I could fix these 2 problems I could instantly make more money. I contacted ebay and they said "Thanks for letting us know".

Anyone else noticed this and possibly worked out a way to fix it?

    Hey Guerrilla,

    I am doing very well on EPN using well optimized Wordpress blogs with phpBay Pro.

    You can post the auctions right below your content and the visitor will be sent right to the auction they click on.

    Over the last three months my EPC has gone from 14 cents a click to as high as $2 a click.

    April was my first month over $100 with QPC and I have cracked $500/month for May.

    I target antiques and collectibles and the last two months seem to get buyers that go on "shopping sprees" buying multiple high dollar items within the 7 day cookie time frame.

    If you are already making money the phpBay plugin will easily pay for itself.

    Google phpBay coupon or promo code and you should be able to get a 20% discount.

    What kind of EPC are you getting?

    It's probably being ad blocked. The good news is that Chrome's 9% market share is mostly concentrated in the more tech oriented markets and the most profitable EPN niches are not that tech oriented.

    I wouldn't recommend having YouTube and EPN ads on the same page unless you like losing buyers/clicks.

      I embed a video of "how to use blue widgets", then underneath it put ebay auctions for blue widgets. Works really well! Putting youtube videos onto page increased my CTR and made me more money.

      Ebay got back to me eventually and identified the problem with their code and showed me what to do to fix it. Very slow support, took over a month.
