Hey Linda, I don’t think that it will make much of a difference for auctionAds. They are using the eBay web services API and not the CJ one as far as I know. eBay will not change much there, only the URL.

I would be very surprised, if their in-house platform does not have some sort of “SID” tracking functionality.

I would also assume that eBay extends their web services API to provide access to reporting data via automated means. Their API is not beta, like CJs so I think that this might be benefitial for them from a technical point of view.

From an overall business point of view things might look a bit different. It’s hard to tell, because there are many factors and many unknowns (to me) that could play an important role there.

Wonder what this means to all who have invested in Build-A-Niche ebay stores. At $100 a pop, I sure hope thay can convert easy enough.

Wasn’t eBay CJ’s #1 advertiser by far? I’m guessing this news hurts CJ in a big way in terms of revenue.

Wonder how shoppingads.com (originally ShoeMoney’s AuctionAds) will be affected because of the changes above. Their widget was pulling from CJ too and serving TONS of CJ/eBay links to TONS of affiliates – at least in the beginning, not sure how they are doing now.
