Hi, I just started promoting ebay affiliate program on cj. I got one leads but no commission earned. What's going on? In attached the screenshot.
Ebay should pay: The eBay Affiliate Program: Earn cash by promoting eBay’s unmatched value and selection. You will be compensated for traffic you send to eBay.com in two distinct ways: earn between 40% and 65% of eBay's revenue (not item sale price) on ALL Winning Bids or Buy It Nows (BINs) within 7 days of an affiliate action AND up to $22.00 for each active registered user! Revenue Share Compensation eBay Revenue Compensation $0-$24.99 40% $ 25-$99.99 45% $100-$999.99 50% $1,000-$9,999.99 52.50% $10,000-$99,999.99 55% $100,000-$249,999.99 57.50% $250,000-$999,999.99 60% $1,000,000+ 65% $12-22 per Active Registered User (ACRU) ACRUs Compensation 1-49 $12.00 50-499 $14.00 500-1,499 $16.00 1,500-2,999 $18.00 3,000+ $22.00
Taken from http://affiliates.ebay.com/program%2Ddetails/compensation/ I also have leads without payments, but I believe the reason for that is that Ebay will pay you for ACTIVE Registered user, i.e. when he makes a bid or submit its own item it becomes active and you will earn $12. That is my opinion.
Thanks you are probably right. One more thing, I wanted test my links and I bought an ebook on ebay.com through my affiliate link but I got no commission. Any possible reason?
Let's clear a couple things up here... eBay pays you for ACTIVE members signups. This means that you need to have 2 Leads per person in order to convert one Lead to a commission. The first lead is saying they signed up, the second, often times a couple minutes later- is the activating BIN (Buy it Now), or BID. 314 Clicks... you aren't getting cheated, send more traffic.
Ok, this is what I got. 248 impressions, 449 clicks, 181% CTR, 4 sales, 0 leads and .55 cents based off of sale commission ONLY. (No Lead Commissions) If I got the sales commission then wouldn't I get the lead commission as well?
I don't understand. OK, If you signed up for ebay from your and made a purchase from your house using the ebay account that you just recently signed up for. Why would I (the publisher) not get the lead and the sale? I don't see how the person who signed up would be different from the person who made the purchase.
