I got the email from eBay today, they are jumping ship from CJ and the other one (I forget the name) , and running their own affiliate system now. It was a matter of time 
They start this new system in April, wiht no account moving, I understand that brand new accounts have to be made, which could be fun
For affiliates, I heard that they are keeping the PID system, so BANS and similar will still work, it’ll just be tracked elsewhere, which could be good, only time will tell
I wonder how long it’ll be before eBay.co.uk follow .com
Found it in pcpro today, that Adobe and Symantec are now taking nine indeviduals to court over their selling of illegal pirated software on eBay, as they are “Tired Of Waiting for eBay to take action” , not suprising really. Should have happened earlier, selling pirated stuff is just beyond pathetic. Guys, make them find it for themselves! xD
What amazes me is that a lot of people on eBay buy this stuff, and don’t think twice about it. Most of them have no idea that it’s illegal, ignorance seems to be abundant on eBay.
The lawsuits, filed by the Software and Information Industry Association, known as SIIA, are apparently the biggest filed to date over such a subject, which means that maybe they are finally taking a stand, which is good for them, and not so good for software pirates everywhere.
It seems that eBay is ‘reluctant’ to take any action against pirates, and I’m sure this is the first of many companies taking things into their own hands.
eBay is trying to gag us. I read this week that they are going to stop sellers leaving negative feedback , because, apparently, buyers are ‘afraid’ of the retaliation, and therefore don’t leave true feedback for transactions.
While what they are saying is partially true, I’m sure there more sellers leave negative feedback due to the buyer not paying or suchlike, than because the buyer left negative feedback for them. This effecitvely silences the seller, which is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
I sell on eBay, and I’ve had one or two non-paying buyers, so I know how annoying it is. What eBay is doing may just make me give up or move elsewhere.
This may be no news to some people, but to me, who uses eBay all the time, it’s brand new. In buying something from eBay.com today, I inadvertantly logged into eBay.com not .co.uk where I usually am, and found a whole new my eBay, all flashy and fast and stuff, and I have to say, I really like it. I’m not sure how, but it’s translated itself back onto my eBay.co.uk page; and I’m not complaining, but I have no idea how it happened
The new interface retains the colours, but has gone all shiny, fast, and seems to run from a single page, which is very cool; considering the volume of data it transfers. I don’t know how to enable it for us UK people, but logging in on .com might be a way to try it 
I’ll take a picture from the other laptop shortly, and add it to this post. As I said, I might be really late on this, but it looks really awesome, and … well I decided to blog about it, seeing as I have nothing else to write about
