There is nothing minor about this change from EPN however... it's a landslide, and it will heavily impact every affiliate currently operating niche websites with the eBay Partner Network.

The eBay Partner Network affiliate program has been operating under a commission structure. By listing eBay products on a website, when someone clicked through from your site and ended up making a purchase, you would receive a portion of eBay's commission from the sale, upwards of 50% depending on the monthly volume that you dealt with.
