This is starting to sound like the 'new look' on eBay Stores discussion. Is it a similar situation, In Your Opinion?

The reality is that you can't make decent money from eBay's Partner Network if you play by the rules. eBay recently decided to stop tolerating rule-breakers, and is throwing them out like mad. I'm at the point where I tell people to not bother with eBay's commission system. If you have traffic, send it where you want since dealing with the Partner Network isn't worth it. While basing a revenue model on partner commissions sounds good, I am not sure that basing a model on commissions you're getting by breaking rules is a strong idea. Just my two cents!
