    Does anyone know anymore about Ebay's removal? Is it likely to be permanant?

    BG- although a quick swap to them , and then away can be fruitful , as can getting paid for a new boiler quote.

    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    There has been a changeover of who pays the affiliate links from Ebay. Ebay now do it in-house rather than using a third party.

    Not sure why Quidco couldn't just change the links over there will be nothing stopping them, unless they preferred to deal with the other company who carry a lot of other affiliates on their site.

    Email Quidco and see why. It may be a case of them waiting for the system to settle down (amazingly there have been a few problems in the cross over!!)

    Quidco only supports shops using a major affiliate network, as Ebay's operating it's own private affiliate scheme, Ebay won't be able to be supported on Quidco unless Ebay go back to a major affiliate network or Quidco changes to accept companies using there own affiliate tracking system on their website.

    i too will miss ebay on quidco especially as i only started using quidco a 2months ago and ebay was one of the sites i regularly racked up money on.

    don't forget if you use nectar estores you can still get 1 point per £1 on winning bids and buy it now (dont think this includes postage though) i know this only works out at 1/2p per £1 or 0.5% but its better than nothing.

    How do the in house ebay affiliates work? Is there any way we can still make cashback from them?

    Actually just found this bit on quidco itself.

    http://www.quidco.com/blog/?cat=5 search for ebay on that page

    EDIT.... Actually ignore this I've only just realised that was from 2006 so I guess is not in any way relevant to the current removal.
