I had Sovrn request the same of me a few months ago. I added at the bottom of the page and as said above, it wasn't good enough. The disclosure had to be "above the fold." OK, then. I had a (now-deleted) part of the site that used an RSS feed to retrieve new listings that matched certain criteria that was of interest to our members, creating a new thread for each result, and added the notice at the bottom of those posts (using the signature of my 'eBay feed' member). Still not good enough. It had to be above the content.
At that point I gave up and ignored the rest of the emails. The first couple of emails mentioned I would be removed from the eBay program if I didn't comply and at that point, given how little of the overall revenue came from eBay, I figured I'd let them remove me. I'm not turning any of my sites into eBay Junior for eBay's amusement. All they did was lose a lot of inbound links we were generating for them. Their loss, not ours. Their affiliate program has turned into a joke, compared to what it used to be.
