How Long Does It Take?

    I'm just starting to use CJ and I have noticed over the past 3 days I've had about 85 clicks (30 being from yesterday alone). I am using the eBay campaign and I was wondering does it usually take a couple days for sales to display or does it show immediately?

    As of now do I assume I have had 0 sales until now or will they pop up in X amount of time?

    Generally it will show up a couple days after the sale ends. If you know the auction you dropped a cookie on, and you don't see anything several days later. I would assume you didn't get the sale.

    Either that or cj/ebay is backlogged some how.

    So in general it doesn't happen instantly correct? How long does the cookie last on the buyers computer if he clicks, but goes back a few days later to purchase.

    So if the user purchases anything within 7 days after they originally clicked on my link, I get credit, unless they clear their cookies.

    And usually sales show up within 2-3 days after the day. So sales from yesterday will show up tomorrow or the next day. Right?

    Unless there is some reporting delay with CJ, your ebay sales generally post 1-2 after the auction has ended. Most times, it is one day.

    Until that posts, just assume that the sale did not convert.

    Good luck.

    Ok so basically i should wait about a week to be safe and see if my current traffic is converting. I'll report back. Thanks!
