I had been a healthy-earning Ebay affiliate for 3 years under the old (Commission Junction) system; after seeing Stewf's success with Mid-Century Modernist, I hired the same developer to build a similar system for Hewn & Hammered (except in my case, it would present the stream of auction items right on the front page, alongside the editorial content). The developer finished, and is going to bill me any minute ... and Ebay just denied my application without any explanation whatsoever, and said they wouldn't accept a second application.

(I had to reapply as they've migrated from Commission Junction to their own proprietary system.)

I have about 1000 uniques a day and my audience is absolutely well-off, 90% homeowners, interested in collecting Arts & Crafts furniture and the like. They have money to burn and are interesting in buying.

Oh well. Thanks for screwing me, Ebay.
