			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That was the subject headline of an email I received from Pepperjam Network which eBay uses as one of it&#8217;s affiliate networks. All my other eBay niche stores are with eBay&#8217;s in-house affiliate program known as ePN (eBay Partner Network). I only had one store with Pepperjam which I was checking out but I was still a bit shocked by the email:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>from	no-reply@pepperjamnetwork.com<br />
reply-to	no-reply@pepperjamnetwork.com<br />
to	Removed<br />

subject	Affiliate Relationship Revoked</p>
<p>Dear Alan Petersen,</p>
<p>You have been terminated from the eBay affiliate program. Please remove your links, as you will no longer be eligible to receive a payout for leads or sales generated. This decision was made based on a variety of reasons, and we wish you luck in your future affiliate marketing endeavors.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Affiliate Team </em></p></blockquote>
<p>PJN never told me of any issues and they sent the above notice from a &#8220;<em>no-reply</em>&#8221; email account. Gotta love this level of service. <img class="inlineimg" title="Big Grin" src="http://www.phpbay.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>The email is so ambiguous that I don&#8217;t know what I did wrong. As I wrote above, I only have one eBay store with Pepperjam. All my other stores are with ePN. I just used this one site to check out Pepperjam. Since I didn&#8217;t feel they offered anything above and beyond ePN I didn&#8217;t use PJN for other stores. So that&#8217;s my only PJN eBay store so no big loss on my end.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just a bit shocked by the complete lack of communication. That email above is the only communication ever. The only thing I can think that got me booted from PJN is that I didn&#8217;t promote that site since I was just checking out Pepperjam so maybe they don&#8217;t like that the store&#8217;s stats were flat.</p>
<p>Here is my PJN eBay niche store. I realize it&#8217;s a bit on the thin side but it was a work in progress. If you can find what&#8217;s wrong with it&#8230;let me know. <img class="inlineimg" title="Big Grin" src="http://www.phpbay.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" /></p>

<p>The other reason I&#8217;m posting this is as a warning. <strong>Be careful using Pepperjam</strong>. I&#8217;m still an ePN affiliate so it&#8217;s just Pepperjam that booted me.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a crazy ride for eBay affiliates. Thousands have been booted but I never thought I would be kicked out of PJN.</p>
