1) What's an Affiliate Program?
An Affiliate Program is the system whereby you advertise our website for us on your emails, on your website, to your friends etc. If someone follows your link to eBid and joins eBid as a BUYER or upgrades to SELLER or SELLER+ status then we will pay you for that referral.2) How much will you pay me?
Payouts for BUYER registrations and SELLER upgrades are a fixed amount, currently $2.50 (this is USD and will be converted to the currency of your choice). If your referrals upgrade to SELLER+ then the payout is 50% of the upgrade fee. Currently the most you can receive for a single referral is $104.99, that's just for one person clicking one of your links on your social site/website or email and upgrading.4) What do I do after I join?
You can choose between banners or plain text links. Place them on your website, on your forum signatures, on your email signatures, Facebook pages or anywhere potential members of eBid will find them. The more places you promote eBid the more likely you will refer new users to us and therefore earn more.5) What are Buddy Points?
The eBid Buddy Points program is eBid's own Loyalty Card system. You can earn and accumulate points during your trading career that can be used throughout the site.6) How do I earn Buddy Points?
Buddy Points are earned by referring your buddies and friends. Add your friends' email addresses to the form on this page. They will then be sent an email inviting them to come and join eBid. Once they join you will earn 1 point for each.
