eBay Partner Network

My Experience with eBay Partner Network: Extremely Disappointing and Unfair

I joined the eBay Partner Network with high hopes, expecting a reliable affiliate platform backed by a well-known global brand. Unfortunately, my experience was nothing short of frustrating and disappointing.

After working hard to drive traffic and earn commissions, my account was suddenly closed. The reason? According to their support, my country is not supported. Oddly enough, this information wasn’t made clear during the signup process. If you don’t support a country, why allow registration in the first place?

To make things worse, they claimed I would still receive the pending payout I had earned before the account was closed. Weeks passed and nothing arrived. I followed up, only to be told I needed to submit U.S. tax documents (W-9), despite not being a U.S. resident. How does that make any sense? You close my account because I’m not in the U.S., then ask for U.S. tax forms to release payment?

What’s even more shocking is how EPN seems to look for any excuse to shut down accounts:

“Suspicious traffic” even when all referrals are organic

“Inactive account” after just a few days of no clicks

“Non-compliant region” even though there’s no warning about this upfront

Or simply: “violation of terms” without any specific explanation

It feels like they’re just trying to avoid paying affiliates by throwing out vague, baseless reasons. The lack of transparency and inconsistent support responses make it impossible to trust this platform.

I strongly caution anyone considering EPN to think twice. You could do everything right, generate real results, and still lose your earnings over a “policy” you never even knew existed.

its the best network for us

The Smart Suite tools of EPN helped me to a great extent in optimizing my website and with smart placements and dynamic banner ads helped to earn more by matching the branding of website and the behavior of visitors for higher conversion potential by customizing using the keywords.

best community ever i am very satisfied

No just an affiliate, EPN treats us like business partners in many aspects. Wish the support team was more helpful

EPNs creative tools, marketing guides and reports help us to optimize the work and earn better commissions

I thank EPN and Ebay for giving me consistent opportunities and payments earned through better commissions, occasionally with bonus ;)

I would like to thank Ebay and EPN for providing a great platform for affiliate marketing and the Insider program to learn and connect with other affiliate marketers

EPN is the only affiliate marketing program am associated with now. I got into the world of online affiliate marketing like next stage of my offline commissions. EPN was easy when compared another program which I was part of initially.

EPN helped me to realize the value and Income generation potential in Affiliate marketing. With right tools, guide and motivation, any one can succeed in EPN. I wish the % of pay would be great than what is offered now.

Great E bay site for commission.

Thanks for letting me know the real potential of affiliate marketing and the earnings through it.

Thank you Ebay

Amazon may have the biggest affiliate program, but I feel EPN is easier and better in % of commissions

With all smart tools and API , experience with Ebay + EPN is getting smarter and easier

EPN means real business, If you need to succeed and make good money through affiliate marketing EPN is the right platform to do it comparing other similar programs
