Interesting -- why now I wonder?
And what exactly does this mean: "According to one affiliate, eBay initially offered greatly reduced commissions with the resurrection of the program, though it has since increased commissions significantly - though still greatly reduced relative to pre-2011 levels." Are they talking about seller fees (FVFs)?
I noticed that the listing management site I use (Auctiva) has offered an eBay reward/rebate programme to sellers for some time -- they call it "MyStoreRewards". I don't have the volume to consider this, but I wonder if this sort of thing is completely separate, or in addition to, the cashback promotions that apply to all purchases on eBay?
