    I added ebay to a travel site for 'last minute holidays' and I just saw I had these results

    As far as I can tell its only holidays showing on the listing, about £200-400 each.

    So how come I am seeing winning bid 0.08-0.11?

    Cheers

    Once they click your link and end up on eBay anything they buy there is counted towards your commission.

    They may have ended up on your site, clicked one of your holidays ads and were taken to eBay where instead of bidding on your item they found a pack of bubble gum and bought that. You get the commission from the bubble gum, and anything else they buy on eBay within the next 7 days.

    OK thanks for the explanations, I guess that makes sense.
    Hopefully the buublegum sale is over and they can buy holidays from now on!

    Check the transaction details to find out what the winning bid was for. Not that it helps much. I get a lot of winning bids that have nothing to do with my site's content or the auctions I was linking to.
