Steve Hartman Says Farewell to eBay Partner Network
Happy New Year everyone!
Steve Hartman, the Global Manager of the eBay Partner Network has announced he is leaving eBay and moving to a new opportunity on the east coast. On the Partner Network Forum, he wrote:
First, I’d like to start by thanking the eBay Partner Network affiliates for a great 2009. It’s been an exciting year and we’ve seen a lot of great integrations with the Daily Deal contest and adoption of tools like custom banner, along with a lot of folks taking advantage of the opportunities with Quality Click Pricing and optimizing their affiliate businesses. And I know that there’s a lot more innovation to come next year and beyond.
To that point, I’m actually saying farewell to eBay Partner Network and am moving on to a new opportunity on the East Coast starting in the New Year. I’m extremely proud to have been part of the eBay Partner Network team, and moving forward, I know that eBay Partner Network will continue to be in great hands with Will Martin-Gill (of will1111@ebay.com fame) taking over my role, and the rest of the team continuing the great work they’ve been doing.
Taking his place will be Will Martin Gill, who has worked under the leadership of Steve for quite a while, and the transition from USA Affiliate Program Manager, to the Global position, should be smooth and seamless.
Good luck with your new venture Steve – but please don’t spread the QCP model across the country! :-)

I have been doing my part to "Build the Internet" since 1994, when I built my first website! Since then, I have built hundreds of niche websites for myself and many others, focused on design, applications, ecommerce, search optimization and internet marketing.
Wow, I hope that turns into good news for those of us that still use epn, and maybe they will get their heads back on straight….
Hopefully it is good news for the rest of us. Maybe we will see some better changes!
Good riddance Steve. Maybe he’s off to the east coast to run the Madoff fund :-) He couldn’t possibly screw that up anymore than it already is!
There is a time in a man’s life when he has to say “Shoot, I’ve screwed up BIG TIME with my non-sense of an affiliate program and the hammer is about to fall on somebody’s head. Let me run now while I have time.” But I bet the wife he got fired. Ebay has lost a ton of affiliates because of this guy. Now what’shisname is left holding the bag. I hope this new guy changes course and get back the program to reality! Back to CJ!
@lovejoy –
I pointed out Steve Hartman’s ineptitude waaay back in 2008 and nobody was interested in listening.
I find it extremely humorous that this guy has gone from running what would/could and should have been the largest affiliate marketing program in the world to marketing mini-storage units. If Hartman was doing such a wiz-bang job at eBay why did he move out of the ecommerce arena and into brick and mortar? Because he is worthless when it comes to anything to do with the internet.
Obviously the U-Store-It CEO does not use Google or this guy would never have been hired.
