July 06 eBay New Pricing Structure

Just got this email about 3 minutes ago.
I am stoked!

The eBay US Affiliate Program is excited to announce that on July 1st we will be revising our Payment Structure with the goals of increasing compensation and encouraging affiliate growth. Our main objectives are to:


Help new and small to medium-sized affiliates become more successful by lowering thresholds at the bottom tiers.


Maintain strong incentives for our top affiliates by increasing the maximum ACRU payout and offering a new “$1,000,000+” Revenue Share Tier.

The new payment structure will be enabled by tracking infrastructure enhancements that will allow us to account for more successful transactions from affiliates - hence more revenues! These enhancements will roll out in parallel on July 1st and include:

International Listings: Listings originating on international versions of the eBay site (non US items sold on the US site).

Rapid Fire Bidding: The process where bids are placed in close succession.

Below is the detailed payout structure that will be live July 1 for the eBay US affiliate program:

Monthly ACRU Tiers
Total ACRUs Compensation per ACRU
0-49 $ 12.00
50-499 $14.00
500-1,499 $16.00
1,500-2,999 $18.00
3,000+ $22.00

Monthly Revenue Share Tiers
Total Revenue ($) % of Revenue
$0-$24.99 40.00%
$25-$99.99 45.00%
$100-$999.99 50.00%
$1,000-$9,999.99 52.50%
$10,000-$99,999.99 55.00%
$100,000-$249,999.99 57.50%
$250,000-$999,999.99 60.00%
$1,000,000+ 65.00%

We expect that this change will be beneficial to all of our partners, and hope that you will see the benefits of this new structure immediately.
