eBay Affiliate Program Commission

Is it true eBay pays $12 if I drive traffic to their site, and the person registers and places a bid?

I know the eBay affiliate program has had various arrangements for how they pay out affiliate commissions over time, but on August 1 of this year, eBay announced a new value based pricing structure.

“As you may have heard, we’re in the process of implementing a new pricing structure for Active Confirmed Registered User (ACRU) compensation. The new value-based pricing scheme is based on quality, instead of just volume, and will reward affiliates for the amount of quality traffic they drive to eBay advertiser websites. The new value-based pricing system is part of our ongoing effort to reward our best marketing partners and promote trusted commerce on eBay.”

I would suggest visiting the eBay Partner Network site to get a thorough explanation on how the affiliate commissions are structured.

On the site, eBay has a drop-down menu where you can select which country version of their affiliate program you are going to promote, and the associated payment structure.

    Hi,

    It's hard to keep up with all the changes
    that are made to affiliate programs.

    So far, I am not making enough to be
    impacted by changes in eBay TOS.

    Hi Shaun,

    Thanks for the tip. I didn't know EBay had an affiliate program. They only pay around 2USD for my country which makes it not so exciting. Maybe they've already changed the rates.
