Four New EPN Programs
On August 19th, 2009, Ebay Partner Network announced it was adding four new programs to their affiliate program.
From 1st September, we are opening four new affiliate programs on eBay Partner Network for the eBay sites in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland. The payment model for these programs will be Quality Click Pricing.
Germany is our biggest market outside the US, so promoting this site is a massive opportunity for you to increase your earnings. We’re sure it will be well worth the effort to have your site translated and we encourage you to think about how you can adapt your campaigns for the German market. To help you get started, we’ll be posting a “beginner’s guide to Germany” article on our blog in the next couple of weeks. And if you set up a German campaign, don’t forget to also set up campaigns for Austria and Switzerland, as there is a lot of cross border trade between the three sites.
We’re also announcing that after 8 successful years, we will be closing down the eBay Germany, Austria and Switzerland programs on affilinet on 31st October and all publishers on these programs will be asked to migrate to eBay Partner Network, starting September 1st. affilinet will continue to provide support for eBay’s in-house European affiliate team on recruitment and account management, in a similar capacity to Partner Centric, R.O.EYE and NetBooster in the rest of the world.
phpBay Pro for Wordpress and the phpBay Pro API have both been updated to take advantage of these new programs. If you are an existing customer, there is information on our support forums on how to update the auction.php.
If you are a new customer, or looking for an ebay affiliate software script to use, our products are updated and ready to use for the Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland programs.
