Which pays better? Shoppingads, Pepperjam or Ebay Partners. It's virtually impossible to find a current commission structure to make a comparison. And the one I did find didn't make a lot of sense to me. My thoughts were that cutting out the middle man (shoppingads and pepperjam) and going straight to the source would result in slightly higher commission, but somehow I can't see that it does. How can this be possible? Can anyone please help to decipher this mystery?
You can join ebay through epn, or through pepperjam. The payout is the same for both of them as far as i know. I'm not sure about shopping ads since i've never used them, but i suspect the payout is much less than ebay/pepperjam.
A friend sent me the following url and said that it was her belief that according to the info on the page that indicates that shoppingads pricing structure for their CPA deals is based on eBay’s . She said that SA is in the highest payment tier as they have the highest amount of publishers. I'm not saying that she is incorrect, but I also can't see how she came to this conclusion based on the info on the page of the url that she sent to me. Here's the page https://publisher.ebaypartnernetwork.com/PublisherProgramsPayStructure?program_id=1&isExternal=1 Maybe someone smarter than myself can make sense out of it? How can publishers make an informed decision on how who to affiliate themselves with when the info is so confusing? Please post your findings on which affiliation pays the best.
I emailed customer support once again and asked them if there was any way to get reports on sales amounts and have not heard back from them. Haven't I read somewhere that either the PJN or Ebay partners offers that information?
