    This might have been covered, but for those of you that don't know:

    Now I know you all look at your CJ reports daily... have you ever wondered what all these people were really buying on eBay?

    Well now I have a way for you to find out the EXACT item that user has bought and which user it was.. Available to DP members only, for the low low introductory price of $47... er... just kidding.. :p

    Here's how:

    Log into CJ
    Click "run reports"
    Click "By event date" under Pending Comissions
    Click on a dollar amount for whatever date you want
    Scroll to the very bottom of the page
    On the bottom right hand side you will see "Download report in:" and a selection box.. select "Excel" and hit "submit"

    Then open the file, and scroll to the "Order ID" category.. the second number in that sequence of numbers is the eBay item number.

    Cut and paste it into eBay and you will see exactly what was bought, and by whom!

    enjoy!

    This also allows you to figure out which eBay categories you should actively promote. ;)

    Thank you for sharing that trick. I usually don't download reports (because I don't need extra documents taking up space in my life). But I will definitely start now.

    THANKS!

    You don't have to save the file, windows will ask if you want to save or open. I always choose "open"

    You can also save the file in Google Spreadsheets and not use your disk space!

    Nice tip. But in a few cases it seems like it is incorrect. It shows me an auction that is still in progress. What's up with that?
