      Affiliate Payment Structure  

    Are you an Internet-savvy entrepreneur interested in growing a very profitable business? If so, the eBay Affiliate Program is an excellent way for you to earn huge commissions and build a successful business. eBay's Affiliate Program accommodates several business models and pays affiliates generously:

    • Depending on monthly activity, affiliates can earn between $15 USD and $22 USD for each active registered user sent to eBay. An active registration is a user who registers with eBay and, within 30 days, places a bid on any item or uses the Buy It Now (BIN) feature to purchase an item.


    • Additionally, affiliates also earn between 28% and 50% of the revenue that you generate for eBay - meaning we share the revenue that you are generating for eBay were revenue is a percentage of fees that eBay actually receives based on eBay.com.au listings where you delivered a Winning Bid or Buy-It-Now (BIN) through your promotional links as confirmed by eBay and its partner's automated tracking infrastructure.

    The eBay Affiliate Program is based on a tiered payment structure that rewards increased performance. As you drive more active registrations and revenue, you earn significantly more:

    Monthly Active Registration Tiers
    Total Active Registrations Commission per Active Registration
    1 - 50 $15.00 USD
    51 - 200 $17.00 USD
    201 - 500 $19.00 USD
    501 and up $22.00 USD
    Monthly Revenue Share Tiers
    Total Revenue* USD % of Revenue
    $0 - $999.99 28.00%
    $1,000 - $4,999.99 30.00%
    $5,000 - $9,999.99 32.00%
    $10,000 - $19,999.99 36.00%
    $20,000 - $34,999.99 40.00%
    $35,000 - $49,999.99 45.00%
    $50,000 and up 50.00%
    * Revenue is a percentage of fees that eBay actually receives based on eBay.com.au listings where you delivered a Winning Bid or Buy-It-Now (BIN). Revenue does not equate to the sale price of items.

    For example, say you generate 300 active registrations, $15,000 USD in a single month. You will reach the $19 USD tier for active registrations and also receive 36% of the revenue that you generated. In total your monthly commissions will be $11,100.00 USD ($19 x 300 + 36% x $15,000). Simply put, the more activity you drive to eBay, the more you will earn!
