    A few days ago I joined Ebay and I was given an account by Commission Junction - PID :2791855.

    Then I search products I liked to promote in Ebay and I copied the link.
    I grabbed the url of the search and then use the Flexable Destination tool to create your affiliate tracked link. Finally I promoted the link.

    But in in CJ account I found all clicks were consodered to be invalid, and the sales that I had was not recorded.

    Can somebody show where the mistakes I had done ?

    Thanks

    I believe you are refering to cj account number. Pls note CJ account number is totally different from PID. that number is not PID. for pid you have to login into your cj, go to website setting and add you site accordingly. after completing that portion, each site will be given a unique number which refer as PID.

    Here is the example of the link that I promoted in my email marketing.

    http://affiliates.ebay.com/odcs/cus...fcl=3&frpp=50&clicktext1=&submit=Make+my+link

    But normally I shorten the link with tinyurl software.

    Di I make mistake by attaching the link in my webite or email marketing ?

    Thanks

    Follow bujuk's advice. You don't ever use your account number in your links, it's always a PID that's associated with a specific site.
