ebay new payment rules started on october 1st. how are they treating you guys? i'm out of this aff.program and for now and just wondering if they still pay you for any bids(unsuccessful bid) and how much? Did they change the price of active registration for USA only? what eabout Australia?12$ as earlier?
The new terms only affect eBay US (not Australia or any other country). They do not pay for loosing bids any longer.
I'm now getting $23 per new member that I send to ebay. It used to be $32 Bummer! That's through azoogleads. Where are you guys running ebay through?
I'm starting to like this new ebay payment system ... My reports are filling with 100's of $.08 (lowest) to $7.15 (highest) "Winning bid" entries ... I can see a big yo yo of reversals with this system!
If nothing else, it's interesting to watch the winning bid commissions. My top one for yesterday was a $135.14 commission (only at the 40% base). Wish they were all like that.
How did you find out what auction that commission was related to? CJ stats or your own? I can't find it on CJ.
Tip of the day: (heh) You need to export the data. In the order ID field, the 2nd item (separated by semi-colons) is the eBay Auction ID.
YAY! Thank you very much. Just wondering .. do you export your data and .. umm manipulate it to show you some cool stats? or just export to get stuff they don't show you?
I have some cool charting functions. I also keep all my data in a MySQL database (getting close to a gig worth of data). Also, I got a winning bid yesterday that beat the other one I listed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8340937642 Someone bought 100 of those things for $460 each. So I got a $147.72 base commission. End of month PIs (70%) means I actually made $258.51 for that one winning bid. heh As a whole, I'm averaging about $1 per winning bid (40% base commission). Would be pretty neat if they were all $100+ hahaha
how does this ebay commision thing work? how do i add ebay ads to my site? (thats what you guys are doing right?) Rick
i know everyone is tight lipped about their ebay sites, but are these content sites with that junky ebay javascript box? or are these ebay site built on feeds similar to aws? or neither??
I think with this new feature, ebay is trying to compete with Bitpass.com. Ebay is so far behind when it comes to selling digital goods.
Use the ebay developer api to get feeds. I was up until 3:00am last night writing this site last night based on Shawn's previous auto sale: http://www.autosalesamerica.com Guess now I have to write a coin collection one!
