    I have a doubt about ebay affiliation and cj.
    The flexible destination tool is working for every national site of ebay?
    I explain:
    im registered as a user on ebay.it (my country), i have a cj account, with my PID for my blog (i see it on Website settings). Now, if i want to use the Flexible etc on ebay.com or ebay.co.uk by going into the correct section (affiliates) and if I insert my PID on it and the link to the auction, will the link work even if im not directly registered to those domains (com uk etc) but i come from .it?

    Im asking this cause today a friend of mine has been registered through this and did a bid, but on ebay.com . On my CJ account i see 0.00€(my value).
    Thanks, i hope to be clear.

    Normally I would think it would only work for one country or eBay site, unless it is telling you differently. Are you sure it says that all country sites are reported? The other thing may be that there is a delay of some days for international stats to show up. I would check with CJ customer support.

    THe simple answer is NO.

    If you generate a link using a particular ebay site link you will only get commission if:

    1) you have been accepted as an affiliate on that site
    2) your buyer uses that site to bid
    3) the item is listed on that site.

    If you are an affiliate of ebay.it and you generate a link using the ebay.com flex tool you won't get a commission from ebay.it.

    You should generate a link for ebay.it but it will only be commissionable if the buyer uses ebay.it to bid and the item is listed on ebay.it.

    the ebay.com flex link start like this:
    http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=

    for ebay.it use:
    http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/724-24676-10417-2/1?AID=10383434&PID=

    (one exception to the rule is that you should get commission if you are an affiliate of ebay.com, you generate an ebay.com link, the buyer uses ebay.com but the item is listed on another site)
