Optimize

Optimize your campaigns

At eBay Partner Network, we want you to make as much money as possible by optimizing your campaign. You can find out more about how to do this by visiting our optimization page, which includes information on what reports are available and lots of helpful hints and tips.

Geo-Targeting

Global Program

You may have noticed that during the registration process, we submitted your application to all the countries in the eBay Partner Network. This is because eBay Partner Network offers tools that geo-target, so that any traffic that clicks on your affiliate link will be directed to the most appropriate eBay site for their geographic location. For you this means higher conversion rates and more money!

Because some countries have special rules, you may not be eligible to participate in all of our programs, so please do check the terms and conditions before starting your campaigns.

Blog and Discussion Boards

The eBay Partner Network blog is where you can find the latest network news and announcements, along with case studies from our most successful affiliates.
