eBay still treating affiliates like shit

Well, after I got that email saying my account had been re-activated, I found out the hard way that it's not. I spent 4 weeks on SEO activities for this bullshit. The SEO knowledge I gained was priceless as well as what I'm learning from this experience and that is

1) Do NOT put all your eggs in 1 basket.

2) Always be marketing/promoting more than 1 product. Things that are outside my control can often change when it's not necessarily convenient for me.

3) NEVER promote eBay as the sole source of income for your online business. I know others are making money doing it but fine for them.
eBay has to much shit with them for me to fool with those guys. They're arrogant, heavy handed and don't seem to think much of affiliates.

What to promote? There are literally thousands of products, physical, electronic ie. stuff sold on clickbank or paydotcom. I'll be going into more detail as lately I've been doing strictly cpa marketing and so far so good. I don't regret the last 8 months with BANS, however it's time to make that knowledge I gained pay off. Eventually that'll come to fruition.
