Its probably on CJ's end because i got an email from them awhile back saying their ebay tracking was having problems..and i think thats what auction ads is run through.
Thing I'm worried about now is that all my past earnings are a tiny fraction of what they used to be.. stats from the very beginning, before the whole eBay mess even...
Well I didn't do anything really right before the eBay mess started. I was about to start really driving traffic to a new site when it all went down but I had earnings show up about a week later after the 6/7th and now the little bit that did show up for earnings on the 9th (or 8th can't remember)...are now gone, $0.00.
I will continue to run the ads it's just I'm waiting for the tracking issues to be shorted out before I do anything big to drive traffic.
I don't use AuctionAds, but am having a nightmare with the CJ/eBay issue.
They say it's just the US program, but I've been using the UK one and links to ebay.co.uk pages seem fine, but links to ebay.com pages (through the UK affiliate program) are reporting clicks but no sales. I find it hard to believe that 4000ish targeted clicks in a popular niche would not produce any actions at all.
Think it's just wait and see really, it's not much consolation but last time this happened they did over-compensate but if I remember correctly it was based on previous sales not on clicks.
I feel sorry for Shoe - this is gonna be a lot of work for them to sort out. My 2eb site was gonna share revenue until they said you had to have an individual PID per sub-affiliate... now I'm glad that never got off the ground!

That's why I'm not pushing it right now...I just started using it about the same time everything went wacko so I pretty much had 0 for anything before. Therefore I feel I won't see crap when they straightend it out and comp people.
Just recieved this, tracking back to normal now!
"We're happy to announce that the tracking issues eBay experienced have finally been fully resolved. The fixes were in place several days ago but again we didn't want to make an announcement until we were sure everything had returned to normal. Credits will be applied to publisher's accounts as soon as the final numbers are determined. Thanks go out to all our publishers who waited patiently through this issue. It was frustrating for everyone involved. That being said, with tracking fully restored revenues are higher than ever."
