eBay Outlaws Digital Items & You Make More $$$!

This past week, eBay has made two announcements.

The first was to announce that their affiliate program would no longer be ran with CJ.com.

This news alone made my blood boil because I have thousands of links out there and they can’t all be changed. Not to mention the time it will take me to change the ones that I can.

And when the new program launches, I will only have 30 days to make changes.*ROAR*

The intelligent thing for eBay to do would be to slash their commissions at CJ, not accept new people to that program, and increase the commissions with the new program so people at CJ will have an incentive to make the move when they have time.

Then, as I’m sure you have heard already, eBay announced that as of March 31, digital items must be listed using the Classified Ads format.

Need Blank Media?

If you burn a lot of DVDs and CDs, you are always on the look for low-cost media. Well, I found a source that has 100 52x CDs for $5.99 (with coupon) and 200 TDK 16x hub printable DVD-Rs for only $49.99 (with coupon) and free ground shipping. (The coupons are listed on the information pages.)

ListJoe - Need a bigger… erm… uhh… List?

Over the last few months I have been testing different safe list mailing systems and would like to share my results for one of them today.

But before I get to that let me first, briefly, explain what a safelist is.
