Right now, my EPN dashboard says I've made $33.59 for the year since I've switched things over this month. Well, this jumped from under $10 the day before so I checked to see if I got an ACRU. I download the transaction report for the year and the amount (column D) and add in $25 for the single ACRU I got, it comes to $42.15. WTF?! Am I reading the transaction report correctly? Is the number listed in the "Amount" column next to the "Event Type" column my actual commission amount? If so the numbers just aren't adding up. If this is not the correct way to tell my commission, what is? CJ's interface was SOOO much easier to read! And I hate that you can't see your conversion rate for things anymore. Fucking annoying is what it is.
My numbers never add up either. The transaction download report always shows a higher $ amount. I'm assuming they're working out the bugs in their reporting system? I also show $1 for each ACRU in the Amount column, what do you show for ACRUs?
I'll bet they have the quantity in the amount column. The sum of the amount column doesn't equal the dashboard when I substitute $25 for the ACRU either. So basically their reporting is all messed up. I hope they don't run their auction site like this...
If that's true then the difference would be larger because in most cases the Dashboard is lower. So by changing the $1 to $25, you're increasing the difference.
The dashboard appears to be understated. At $1 ACRUs, the transaction report is close but does not match. So either EPN is paying $1 ACRUs or the ACRUs should be $25 and the $ amounts in the amount column are too high. Interestingly if you plug in $25 for the ACRUs and divide the amounts by 2 like someone suggested on another thread, the total amount is close (lower than dashboard) but does not match. It really is very difficult to tell what is being presented in the transaction report. Is there any discussion of this on the EPN forums?
I actually tried that formula initially but it was still off by a little bit--close though. Regardless, this is seriously fucked up and eBay has dropped the ball big time. There reporting is crap and doesn't give nearly the same amount of useful data as CJ. I mean, I can't even figure out how to display my conversion rates and w/ CJ it was just right there. I hope that affiliates start leaving eBay in droves. That will be a big slap in the face to them.
