1) What's an Affiliate Program?

An Affiliate Program is the system whereby you advertise our site for us on your emails, on your website, to your friends etc. If someone you send to us joins eBid then we will pay you $2.00 / £1.00 for introducing them to us.

2) How much will you pay me?

We will pay $2.00 if you wish to be paid in US Dollars, or we will pay you £1.00 for each new member if you join our British Pound program. You will need to sign up at ClixGalore and then place text links or banners on your emails, websites etc. CA$ and AU$ schemes will also be available very shortly.

3) How do I join?

4) What do I do after I join?

You can choose between banners or plain text links. Place them on your website, emails or anywhere potential members of eBid will find them.

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. If they then upgrade to Seller you will earn another, if they upgrade to Seller+ you will earn 2 points.
Points are also available via the following trigger points.

Referring a Buddy = 1 points
Buddy Seller Upgrade = 2 points
Buddy Seller+ Upgrade = 2 points
Making a Bid Meeting Reserve = 0.5% of reserve price (max 5 points)
Purchasing via Winning Bid = 1.0% of final bid (max 5 points)
Purchasing Using BuyNow = 1.0% of BuyNow price (max 5 points)
Receiving Positive Feedback = 0.5% of final bid OR BuyNow price (max 5 points)

These amounts are subject to change. A limit is placed upon the amount of Buddy Points you can earn from dealing with a single buyer/seller within a month.

7) How do I spend Buddy Points?
