Using the eBay Affiliate Dashboard
The affiliate dashboard is where you build links, monitor performance, and track payouts. A few habits make it much more useful.
Daily reports
Check clicks, conversions, and earnings daily during launches; weekly otherwise.
Build trackable links
Use the link builder or browser tag (SiteStripe equivalent) to add tracking IDs that let you segment performance.
Creative assets
Banners, deep links, and promotional assets are in the dashboard. Refresh creatives every few weeks.
Payouts
Set bank or wallet details. Most programs pay on a 30-60 day cycle after the month's end.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my conversions lower than my clicks suggest?
Cookie windows (24h, 30d, etc.) vary by program — closer to 24h for marketplace platforms.
Can I export data?
Yes — CSV exports are usually available.
