    Their advertiser ID is in the URL for their detail page - search for an advertiser's name in the Get Links area, and the link will be
    https://members.cj.com/member/xxxxx/accounts/publisher/getadvertiserdetail.do?ispopup=true&advertiserId=[B]1234567[/B]
    Code (markup):
    , where 1234567 is the advertiser's advertiserID.

    Thanks for your reply...


    Another Question - affiliating ebay products:

    I'm would like to promote items that are on ebay. Why when i search for products on the 'Get Links' Tab i can't find products that are on ebay?

    I mean - on the BANS we can view products from ebay how can i see these products on the cj account manager? and which program should i join.


    I'm a little confused because i think the ebay.com affiliate program is for affiliate that make people join ebay and not generate individual sales.. So i'm not really sure what to do to promote merchandise on ebay...

    Thanks again...

    All you need to do is grab your CJ PID and use the FlexTool or the EditorKit. You can use these tools to promote anything that's for sale on eBay.

    Thanks..

    I tried the Editor Kit and Product Kit. I would like to add these boxes to my site. However i followed the steps and could find the specific products i'm looking for. I can see these products on ebay but when i'm putting the same keyword here i get 0 products (or a list of completely unrelated products). It seems like this doesn't give access to all the ebay inventory. am I wrong? Are these options not good for specific niche products?

    About the RSS feed generator - i followed the steps here too, i get and error feed. I think it's because i'm not on the ebay program with CJ.

    I tried to join the ebay.com program but right after i accept the terms and click continue i get:


    Anyone knows why i'm being declined automatically?

    Thanks...

    It's pointless using any of those tools until you've been accepted into the eBay program.

    It's probably because of your location. eBay likes to auto decline anyone who isn't in the USA.
    Email them and let them know you're targeting the USA/UK/whatever.

    How do i contact them?

    The reply i got says:

    "...If you have a question please contact the advertiser through advertisers detail page within the account manager."

    How do i contact ebay? (or any other advertiser for that matter)?
    I click on ebay from the CJ account manager the the advertiser details window opens... but i don't see any links on contact us or something like that.


    thanks

    Thanks... i just sent them an email. Hopefully they will reply soon.

    How about getting a list of ebay products to put on my site.

    I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but i tried the RSS Feed Generator, and i have a few questions about it:

    1. Is there a better way to scan products from ebay to display them on my site?

    2. After i followed the steps and filled in my PID like they explain here:
    http://affiliates.ebay.com/ns/RSS.htm
    Does the links to the products on the feed i get already have the tracking info to commission me if someone buys?

    3. How can i go to the next page of the feed. I generated a search of 3000+ products and can only see the first 100 on the feed. how can i skip pages?

    Many Thanks...
