I see you already have a fully developed shopping site with many affiliate programs, such as Walmart, ShopBop, Dell, Acer, etc.
The problem could be low traffic and no unique content as all I could see were product listings that exist elsewhere on the net.
Affiliate networks do look for both traffic and unique content on a website.
When you applied, did you apply as publisher or advertiser? In your case, I believe you would have to apply as a Publisher.
Consider adding a blog section to your website, fill it with unique articles and value-added information for shoppers (more text than product images) and use the link to your blog, instead of the store, in your application. ~Jude
I got rejected as well and when I read their emails its says my website is in BETA and don't have much traffic. It has something to deal with relevance also.

I was rejected by 1 program so far in Commission Junction. My advice is to wait on most of the programs you try to sign up for until you have a site built around the niche at least.
I contacted Commission Junction and asked them how we go about getting around declined applications or if we can re-apply with the same publisher account. Waiting on a response right now but if anyone knows the answer to that please share with us???
Build more content, traffic, then reapply - most programs accept the resubmitted requests, I don't know of any that only allow you to apply once.
