Selling YPN invites on eBay

September 16, 2005

Spotted via Jeremy Zawodny’s linkblog, a publisher is selling a Yahoo Publisher Network invite on eBay.

It seems that several publishers based in India mistakenly received YPN invites despite it being open for US residents only. While some have submitted fake address information, this invitee is obviously trying to make some cash off the error. And surprisingly, he’s got a bidder at GBP 79.00 (about $150 USD).

I know I have been asked numerous times for an inside track on getting a beta account. It seems those invites really are coveted! Although this is definitely not a way I would recommend getting your beta account.

Update: It looks like the seller originally tried to peddle it on Digital Point, before another member suggested eBay. Thanks Shawn for pointing it out.
