How long does it take for a sale to show up in your CJ account?

    Hello,

    I new to BANS and was wondering how long it takes for the sale to show up in the CJ interface after the auction has ended or BIN has been made.

    Further, what is the best way to increase ACRUs? Can I create my own banners or flash videos with my ref?

    Thanks,
    Jonas

    It may take anywhere from 2 hours to couple of days (for the advertisers who sends the batch transactions)

    That's not correct. Leads from advertisers using a tracking pixel should show up in the Commission Detail report within 2 hours, normally. However, due to recent delays in CJ's system, it can take many more hours if there is a reporting issue with CJ. Also, as MakeADifference mentioned, it can take advertisers who use batch processing a few days to submit.

    eBay is a batch-process advertiser, and if I remember correctly, they generally post leads once per day.

    I see them during the coarse of the day but I am not sure when the actual sales happens. I usually look at todays results tomorrow... LOL so I would wait 24 hours before really checking any one days results.

    If you look on the information page for the advertiser, there is a notice at the bottom about whether or not they use batch transactions.

    Yes you can do that. My experience with ACRU's has been that they're somewhat random - none of my sites, which are in wildly different niches, has exceeded in ACRU's more than the others.

    The best thing is to get people who may not shop on the internet much, but who would buy. They probably won't have an eBay account, but if you sell them something they will sign up and buy it, and you get the ACRU commission.

    So try to find buyers in odd places (such as offline advertising).

    I'm glad I came across this thread because I've been promoting for a day or 2, and haven't seen the sales show up... and I've confirmed that I've sold 3... so not sure?

    ACRU leads show up within 4-5 hours (sometimes sooner) of the lead happening.

    Commissions from sales are batched daily by ebay and post the next day (normally) after the transaction.
