How long does it take for CJ to display the commissions?

    I was wondering how long it usually takes CJ to display commissions.
    I have a site that I am creating that I will have CJ affiliate links on.
    I decided to test the links to see if they work.
    So I clicked my ebay affiliate link and bought something (a real purchase that I wanted anyway) last night and the clicks show up but not the commission.
    I was thinking maybe CJ blocks commissions from the IP address that you sign up on. Or, it could be that it just takes longer?
    Has anyone experienced anything like this?

    Some merchants take longer than others. Maybe ebay will take a few days.

    i just read the tos about a hr ago!being i shop n sell on ebay so why not make a lil back if i can!
    but it looked like you are able to buy from your links but didn't say anything about payment for your own purchases !
    i asked ebay live help and they said they were not authorized to answer that ?!
    does any 1 know?

    I just read the TOS and it doesn't say anything about using your own affiliate link but I think I have read here that you are not supposed to use your affiliate links to buy items on Ebay. The only reason I did is to check to make sure they do work. But I would say if you are getting a good amount of commissions Ebay probably won't know.

    BTW, I just got my commission for the item mentioned above. It took two days for them to display it.

    It took two days for the commission from ebay to show up on my account. Maybe some merchants are alot faster.

    I bought something I wanted through one of my affiliate links and it took only an hour or two for the commission to show up. It wasn't ebay though.

    Since yesterday, CJ has had a message up that says:
    In my experience, it usually takes just a few hours.

    I have had 7 or 8 Ebay commissions and a few sales from other merchants this month.
    Most of the time Ebay commissions show up the next day.
    Other merchants' commissions seem to come up within a couple hours.
