Tracking Commissions

    Is there a way to tell what item(s) was purchased on eBay when you are paid a commission? Also, is there a way to track to see who signed up for a new eBay account using your PID?

    You can view all that in the reports section. :)

    I understand that you can view how many sales / leads you have had on any certain day, but I was wondering if there was a way to see what eBay item that was sold that gave you that commission.

    Or, if someone signs up for a new eBay account, is there a way to see what there eBay user ID is?

    :)

    You have to download the CSV in report and then view it. It has what item the buys view.

    You can't what that user sign up under because you would cheat and pay that person to buy stuff so you can earn $25 :p

    Thank you for answering my question. I had a feeling that was the case. The reason I asked is because I came across a website the other day that says make $25 every 10 minutes. I looked into it and what it has you do is signup for a new eBay account with their affiliate ID and then they want you to buy a 1 cent eBook.

    After you do that, you are suppose to fill in a form with your new eBay ID and your email address and they are suppose to verify your information and get back to you. If everything checks out OK, they are suppose to send you the instructions on how to do this yourself.

    Did I do this? No, I did not.

    Personally, I smell scam and I doubt they get back to you with the information, but what do I know?

    That is why I wanted to know if there was a way to actually see if you can who signed up for a new eBay account using your affiliate ID.

    The website is IncomeDummy.com if anyone wants to see what it is.

    Thanks.

    That's what I figured. I sent CJ Support a note with the web address. I figure they will deal with this person correctly.

    You can use www.mycjreport.com (my site) to analyze your CJ/eBay reports. It will tell you exactly what item was purchased, and also give you the eBay ID of the buyer.

    It won't give you the Buyer ID of new signups until they've actually completed the ACRU requirements and purchased something.

    What he is doing is conning you to sign up with ebay and become an active user. if you do that he will receive US$25 from ebay via cj.

    Nothing illegal I don't think, honest... probably not. Actually it probably is illegal because he is promising an incentive. I can only guess that step 4 is when he tells you to start a chain or pyramid and get other people to sign up so that YOU receive all of the ARCU's.

    I knew that he would be receiving $25.00 if anyone signed up, but just to see what happened, I filled in bogus information to receive the first few steps. When it asked for your eBay user ID, email address and item number, that is when I said no way and stopped.

    I did send CJ's support people a note telling them about the site and when they wrote back, they said that this sort of thing is a big no no. If you visit the site now, you will see that it is a parked domain.
