So we weren’t all imagining problems with the EBPN tracking! Check out this thread at the EBPN forum.
We have also found a discrepancy in the way ACRUs were attributed to affiliates on Commission Junction vs. now with eBay Partner Network. Although on eBay Partner Network we use the same underlying tracking system as on CJ (ValueClick’s MediaPlex), when we switched to eBay Partner Network a small issue was introduced where some ACRUs, specifically those where users were confirming their e-mails and then activating via a bid on different days, were not always getting credited to the right affiliate.
and
Although we did thorough testing of our tracking system before launch (by eBay engineers as well as two outside companies that helped us build eBay Partner Network), like most other major advertising systems, now that we have some data on eBay Partner Network, we are bringing in a third party not involved in the original development to do a full, independent end-to-end test of our tracking system. This outside company has already begun to work with our teams. Their plan is to test some of the more basic things quickly and then finish the full test sometime in August. We plan to share the results of that test with you when complete, and will keep you updated as they complete different parts of their analysis.
no idea if they can make good on the errors that have past but at least they’re now working on the problem.
Morons. You’d think that a company working with eBay would be more competent.
Well i dont think so but its a good try and a nice article though. I would like to know what happened next. Please do post the articles. Thanks
A company like ebay is a major company and those working wit them will surely benefit and be a bit competent but not more than ebay. Thanks for the article.
since ebay is well-known…it may works as well as not..well there’s no harm in trying…do keep us informed…
I don’t think this is a very big type of problems.Not so tough.
This type of easy problems always can be solved.They have online services as I know.
Yeah it is not a big problem. Anyway, problems can be solve in so many ways remember that.
Thank you very much for the great information
not a major pain in the a**!! i think it is being dramatized here
!! ebay and companies working through know it well
Thanks for the information. I think companies working with Ebay should at least be more competent in delivering their products or services.
