GOOD NEWS UPDATE PLEASE READ - EBAY CHANGES IT'S ACCEPTED BUSINESS MODELS

According to a recent agreement between Ebay and Hubpages, once again Hubbers will be able to earn through Ebay. All Hubbers interested in the opportunity have to activate their earning status in the earnings section of Hubpages.

This time the process is very simple, just few clicks and you are finished but you still have to wait for ebay approval. Now how you will make money.

HubPages has a new partnership agreement with eBay. Starting in early October, Hubbers can join the eBay Partner Network (ePN) directly from HubPages. Most Hubbers have been unable to join eBay’s network over the past few years, so this is a new monetization opportunity for most of you.

The program will track referrals from your Hubs. You will accrue into your HubPages Earnings Program balance from this activity, based on the amount and quality of clicks from your Hubs.

I PUBLISHED THIS HUB ON 01/19/10 WHEN EBAY STOPPED PAYING FOR CLICKS AND ALSO THERE WERE MANY ISSUES WITH THE REGISTRATION PROCESS TOO.

Ebay changes it’s accepted business models:

We have decided to wind down three types of business models that were previously allowed in eBay Partner Network: tier-2 paid search, ad networks, and sub-affiliates. This change will affect all countries and programs on eBay Partner Network. To be clear, it is still allowed for publishers to source traffic to their own websites via these methods, we are just not allowing direct promotion of eBay through these models.

I joined Hub pages now for a little bit over 2 years. When I joined Hub pages, it was really for fun during my leisure time, writing what I enjoy & like. I had not intentions of making money from Hub pages because of my tight schedule time was the major probem. In Jan 2009, I realized I am publishing with Hub pages already, so why not join the affiliate programs, Google, Ebay & Amazon too.

After lots of thinking on January 28, 2009, I joined all the affiliate programs. All the Google, Ebay & Amazon procedures were followed. I started promoting Amazon & Ebay links on hub pages but with no fruitful outcome, I decided to stop promoting both Ebay & Amazon. However when Ebay announced they intent to pay for clicks too. What kind of clicks that too is very confusing because according to Ebay policy it says quality clicks. What are quality clicks I have no idea.

Anyway, I decided to promote eBay again in Dec 2009. I made 0.45 Cents in Dec 2009 but since Jan 2010 I am getting lots of clicks everyday my clicks shows in Ebay reports but there is no money. On 01-18-2010, I contacted ebay & explained the situation. In their reply, they told me, please read copy of their email response bellow. I am pasting the copies of my communications with Ebay. According to eBay’s first reply, they do not honor hubbers from Hub pages & several other websites where placing promotional links are not allowed.

I do not have answer to these questions.

Do you know what is going on with the Hubpages & Ebay partnership for affiliate program?

If eBay no longer want eBay affiliates program affiliated with Hubpages & does not want Hubbers to promote their content on Hubpages, then why eBay is still listed on Hubpage affiliate set up page?

Either I do not understand or eBay network support staff does not know the right answer because in 2009, I asked eBay support about domain confirmation question and their answer was same. You do not own http://hubpages.com/profile/Mr+Nice this is only a subfolder. To my understanding that means I need my own domain.
