See how much you can earn
If you drive traffic to eBay and the buyer completes a Qualifying Transaction on one of your items, you’ll receive a commission. For all other Qualifying Transactions, you can earn commissions up to 4% of the item sale price.
What is a Qualifying Transaction?
A Qualifying Transaction can occur one of three ways:
- A buyer makes a purchase within 24 hours after clicking the eBay Partner Network affiliate link for a Buy It Now item.
- A buyer places a bid on an Auction item within 24 hours after clicking your link and wins that auction within 10 days.
- The seller accepts a Best Offer placed within 24 hours after clicking your link.

FAQs
What should I do if my eBay Partner Network application is still pending approval after 24 hours?
If you did not receive a notification about your application within 24 hours, please reach out to us here.
Can I share eBay Partner Network links within my eBay listings or eBay Store?
No. eBay Partner Network links can only be posted outside of eBay, never on eBay property. This means that partners who are eBay sellers can’t include affiliate links within their eBay listings, eBay store or eBay Messages.

Once I’ve earned commissions, how and when will I be paid?
The eBay Partner Network pays out commissions once per month and are paid on the 10th of the month for the month before the previous month. For example, your May earnings will be paid on July 10. You can choose to get paid via Electronic Funds Transfer or PayPal.
