    When you are buying something on eBay, do you click on an item on your BANS site to get a cookie set and then make a purchase? - in order to get a commission for your purchase yourself.

    I'm going to buy something on eBay and consider doing this, but am not sure if it is OK.

    you should be fine, but make sure you make enough affiliate commission to meet the minimum payment threshold.

    Is it worth putting your account a risk just to make a few bucks?

    I wouldn't risk it. Oddly enough, I never seen it mentioned in the TOS. Although CJ may have something against buying from your own links.

    I don't think there's anything in eBay or CJ's TOS/PSA that forbids it. If there is, I've never seen it.

    I always forget to bid using my own cookie. I'm usually carrying CJ/eBay cookies from checking out other people's BANS sites! :eek: :p

    OK, I think I will rather not risk it. It's not worth it.
