What We Pay  
   
  Many of our partners earn their living through the Programme. The eBay affiliate Programme has paid on average over $1 million a year to our top 50 partners! How much you earn depends on how much traffic you drive to eBay every month! Whether it is your hobby, or a profession.  
 
Earn between US $6 and $9 for each new active eBay user (ACRU) and up to US$15 for each new Confirmed Lister*

  Our pricing structure  
  Our tiered payment structure rewards increased performance. In other words, the more traffic you drive, the more you’ll earn for each transaction or new active user.

Rates are effective January 1, 2008 and only available via Zanox. Seller must have successfully listed an item on an approved eBay site within 90 days of their original registration. Affiliates will be paid per New Active Users and again if that user becomes a Confirmed Lister, ie an affiliate can potentially earn up to USD $15 for the same user if that user becomes a Confirmed Lister and the affiliate is on the top payout tier.
 
     
  The Payment Structure in Action  
  Let’s say you generate 100 ACRUs and of these, 10 go on to successfully list and sell an item on an
approved eBay site within 90 days. You will earn US $8 per ACRU plus an additional US $4 for each
Confirmed Lister.

Your total monthly commission would be (US$8 x 100) + (US$4 x 10) = US $840!

 
     
   Frequently Asked Questions  
  Have questions about the eBay Affiliate payout?  
  Q: What does "ACRU" mean?  
  A: An "ACRU" is a new eBay active user. That means an individual who: (a) registers for eBay for the first time; (b) confirms his or her registration with an eBay-supplied password sent by email; (c) then goes onto eBay and places a bid or uses BIN to purchase an item within 30 days of their original registration.

The Programme is not session based - users do not need to click, register, and make a bid or use BIN during the same visit. As long as they come back and finish the registration process within 30 days.

 
  Q: What does “Confirmed Lister” mean?  
  A: A “Confirmed Lister” is a new eBay active user who has successfully listed at least one item on an approved eBay site. That means an individual who: (a) is considered an “ACRU”; (b) lists an item on an approved eBay site.

The Programme is not session based - users do not need to click, register, etc all during the same visit. As long as they come back and finish the registration process within 30 days, and then sells an item under the same user ID within 90 days.
 
     
  Q: What are the “approved eBay sites”?  
 

A: An eBay member is considered a “Confirmed Lister” if they have listed at least one item on at least one of the “approved eBay sites”. The websites which are considered “approved eBay sites” for these purposes are:

eBay.com.au, eBay.at, eBay.be, eBay.ca, eBay.fr, eBay.de, eBay.it, eBay.es, eBay.co.uk, eBay.com, and any other eBay websites as may be advised by eBay from time to time.

 
     
  Q: What is the credit withholding policy?  
 

A: The eBay affiliate Programme withholds 6.5% of revenue from each Winning Bid posted to Commission Junction in order to account for any credits that may occur from successful auctions. At the end of each month, we compare your actual monthly credit amount with the standard 6.5% withholding rate, and true up your account to accurately represent the traffic you have driven.
