I used the 'CJ report analyzer for eBay sales' and I can't figure out why I have 7 ebay sales listed in CJ, but only 6 sales show up in the 'report analyzer'.

The one that does not show up is on 30 Nov (the last sale I had). Do I have to wait longer?

If it's in the report, it should show up in the analyzer.

You can always check the item yourself by saving your CJ report as an Excel doc (or whatever you can open), then do an eBay search for the second number in the Order_ID column.

Order_ID
123456789;140186406071;123456;123456789;123456789...

I opened the report up in Excel and it showed 'November Withholding Credit' for the ebay sale not showing up in the report analyzer.

Could I send you the cj_report.txt?

Aha! Withholding credit - nothing to worry about

Quote:Q: What is the credit withholding policy?
A: The eBay affiliate program withholds 6.5% of revenue from each Winning Bid posted to Commission Junction in order to account for any credits that may occur from successful auctions. At the end of each month, we compare your actual monthly credit amount with the standard 6.5% withholding rate, and true up your account to accurately represent the traffic you have driven.

Thanks Kerosene...

I guess I was a little lazy and did not read all of the eBay Affiliate FAQs.

I did not get credited for Nov 30 until the first week of December had passed. i was wondering why they did not lock those funds until then, Now I know.
