The fact that mainstream stores, eBay and Amazon got into the biz really hurt. Amazon Prime is very hard to compete against.
The next kicker are names like A&E who went mainstream, advertise like crazy and changed their terms as well as dumped the white label system. Now you are lucky to get a sale and you never make future commission from the same customer.
You have to control YOUR customer and be very competitive in pricing otherwise you end up educating the consumers who showroom you.
