Yeah! EBay is rolling its affiliate programs in house. The announcement was made today and it has been written up by every blog out there.  So I am going to write about how this affects me personally. One of my top things to get down ASAP or at least before May 1st is the migration to eBay affiliate code numbers. In my sites I use a wordpress plugin called phpBay Pro and it uses a commission junction affiliate code. I will need to see if I can switch out the code without having to break anything. Keep your fingers crossed.

Some of the stories I have read have said that it is for the best. As EBay should be able to save a few bucks by removing the middle men (i.e. commission junction) and gain more control over the content their affiliates produce. I am glad I did not buy the other eBay listing product called Build A Niche Store (BANS) . I have heard that BANS is built around the use of commission junction links so migration may not be possible without a major update.

Do you have a BANS or phpBay pro site that needs to be upgraded? Answer below.
