    Don't they say they pay you like $0.00 per sign up at ebay.com? Maybe thats what it is?

    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.

    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?

    No, because the person who purchased wasn't the same as the four different people who signed up.

    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.
