I started in the ePN a few months ago, after Amazon dumped their Colorado Affiliates due to the new internet sales tax measures put in place here. I have been at 13 cents across the board in the last 45 days promoting lower ticket items. The ad revenue hasn’t replaced what I was doing on Amazon, but its slowly increasing every week.

I’ve also noticed a sharp drop in my epc, but I have to admit that I don’t rely on it too much. Same goes for big G. I started experimenting with completely different sources of traffic and it looks very promising. Straight math – you spend so much, you get so much in return, the difference is basically your profit. No games, no slaps, no more being handled by clerks with superiority complex.

I signed up to EPN after the QCP scheme was launched. I have only been receiving earnings for just over a week but after a few days of 9p EPC im hovering at 1p or even 0p EPC. It’s quite disappointing, but im going to keep plugging away for the next few months and see if I can improve those stats.

I signed up for EPN a few years back, but never did anything with it until this month. I started off really good (good in my opinion for my first week) and was sitting at around 14 cents EPC. It had been consistent every day for a week and a half, with my clicks slowly increasing and my EPC slowly climbing. Today my EPC went from 14 to 10, and it showed my daily EPC for yesterday at 1 cent.

It’s strange to me, because yesterday was no worse than any other day previous, as far as how many bids were placed through my clicks. In fact, it was actually a little higher than average. No winning bids, though, so I wonder if that had something to do with it?

Anyways I was looking forward to growing my EPN steadily so it could become a solid source of income, but now I’m worried that I’m going to be another one of eBay’s “victims”.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I really like your writing style, its not generic and extremly long and tedious like a lot of blog posts I read, you get to the point and I really enjoy reading your articles! Oh, and merry Christmas!

Agreed! Something is wrong and I am pissed! I quickly found your article and find myself in the same boat. I emailed EPN when I first noticed a dramatic drop in my figures. They sent a canned/generic response which only added fuel to my fire. A day or two later, I received a link to complete a survey … I took the survey and left a honest opinion. This is a joke and I hope ebay has a fix soon!

Mike – thanks for your feedback, and do come back with that information! It seems as though people with high-ticket items are getting slaughtered with the new QCP.

I’m not having any issues with QCP so far. For the month I’m at .26 per click and have increased traffic nearly 30%. While this is my first visit to your site, you do mention you are targeting high ticket items. I on the other hand am the complete opposite. Also, I have found some great white hat techniques with WordPress to increase my click throughs that is generating even more money. I’m going to start blogging about what I’m doing this holiday weekend once I get my holiday site complete. I’ll stop back by and post the url here sometime.

Good Luck.
