ePN Quality Click Pricing preview report

ePN Quality Click Pricing preview report

eBay’s new Quality Click Pricing preview report is now available, which allows you to see how your new payouts compare with the current CPA payment structure (look under Reports > Report Type in your ePN account). I’ve just had a look at my report, and I’m not impressed. My Quality Click Pricing total is less than half my current CPA earnings for this month. Looks like Quality Click Pricing isn’t going to be much fun, but I think we all knew that didn’t we?
EDIT – September 22nd, 2009 I’ve just had another look at the QPC preview report (for September), and it appears that I will in fact be earning more with QPC than I am now. Which makes a nice change from the way things have been going with ePN for the last 12 months. Humble pie tastes good.

Quality Click Pricing is designed to do one thing only – allow ebay to pay affiliates less and make more for themselves. Why? Because they can and there is nothing you can do about it as an affiliate.

Example, I earned 92.00 for sept. Quality Click Pricing predicts my payment would be 32.00 for the same traffic.

What is wrong with that?

The 92.00 is based on actual earnings for auctions won by people who come to ebay through my links. Why is it ok for ebay to now claim that traffic is worth only 32.00?

The 92.00 was based on performance. Quality Click Pricing is based on voodoo.

I will be removing every ebay auction link I have and replacing them with something else. Probably aff links from a source who sells something from my site’s niche but anything is better then dealing with a company who just wants me to be happy being screwed.

ebay, you suck!

Well, looks like a big EPN scam to me.. Don’t mean to be harsh, but doesn’t everyone feel like EPN is pulling the blanket over what you are really generating for them in sales? Seems like it isn’t really a pay per click model like Google Adsense at all.. The first day I had 400+ clicks, yet I earned $0.0?? This is quality traffic for organic search results.. Last month my EPC was $0.16(from acutal generated sales). Then today, they readjusted the click rate to $.05 (I’m assuming it was because of a sale or two they just tracked for this month). In reality it’s like you are still getting paid on a cost per completed sale, otherwise the pay rate would be reactive with each click initially, not 24 hours later.. It’s more like the EPC is being configured after your sales are calculated, so you’re really being paid by your sales, correct? What was the point of this change then, other than additional concealment of your true earnings for Ebay? The only difference, is they blind you with a curtain. I totally don’t trust their new system. I’m watching my monthly earning very closely, if they drop anytime in the future, I’m dropping their crap of an affiliate system. Much better affiliate programs out there, without all the hassles.

I totally agree with you guys, I am not liking the look of this new eBay pay structure. One of my epn sites earns $150.00 a month, well see by the end of this month if they pay more or less. This site only gets organic traffic too.
