eBay Store Referral Credit to be discontinued after March 30, 2010

by | Jan 26, 2010 | Announcements, News, Contests and Giveaways, eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling | 4 comments

eBay announced a lot of big changes today and I covered most of them here. But they snuck in something else that was easy to miss as it was buried in the FAQ on another page.

Will the Store Referral Credit continue after these changes launch?
Store Referral Credits will be discontinued as of March 30, 2010.

I personally replaced the Store Referral Credit long ago with an account with eBay Partner Network but I know that some people really relied on the discounts this program provided and I wanted to call your attention to it as this news was easy to miss.

What does this change mean for you? Did you benefit from the store referral credit? Will you miss it?

    I have a url that re-directs to my ebay store which includes the referral code. I'm so tired of eBay. Thanks for finding this little nugget.

    Hey Jeff, thanks for the comment.

    I actually have a little link that is an eBay referral program link that, in turn, refers to the store referral credit URL so I was really covering all my bases. 🙂
