As an eBay affiliate you receive affiliate commissions for both purchases made and new active eBay members which you refer.
As eBay is so well branded and the product listings are so competitively priced it makes converting browser to buyer as easy as it possibly could be.
There are also literally tens of thousands of internet users who are still not registered eBay members…combined these two forms of affiliate commissions can really add up.
1. Affiliate Commissions For Purchases
The eBay tracking cookie for purchases lasts for 7 days which means as soon as someone clicks on a product link in your store and is directed to eBay they are tracked with your affiliate id for a period of 7 days.
If they buy anything from eBay within that time period (ie not just those items listed in your store or that they clicked on) you earn between 20% and 75% of the revenue that eBay makes from the sale.
These percentage differences are attributable to variations in the four eBay affiliate programs and the amount of sale activity that you are generating (see below).
2. Affiliate Commissions For New Active eBay Members
The eBay tracking cookie for new active member referrals lasts for 30 days.
As with purchases, a visitor is tracked with your affiliate cookie as soon as they click on one of the eBay product links in your store.
If they then register as an eBay member and either make a bid or purchase an item within the 30 day period you earn a new member bonus of between $25 and $35 (see below for country specific member bonuses).
