Where to find eBay PID

Ever since the post on replacing AuctionAds with the Ebay Affiliate Tools, I've noticed a number of searches coming in with users trying to find their PID. It's not very obvious in Commission Junction and very easy to put the wrong figures in, to get credit make sure your using the write numbers.

The easiest way to find your Ebay PID is to log into your Commission Junction account. From your main account page at the very bottom there is a drop down menu for a list of affiliate programs you are subscribed to. From here select eBay, this should bring a popup with details of the program.

Under the Get Link section click on 'Text Link'. Then click 'Get HTML' from any of the links listed, it really does not matter which one. After clicking you will be shown a review of the link you choose to get HTML for, along with the HTML code. Essentially you can ignore everything but the details, which contain your PID, directly under Link Type.

Hope this helps and happy affiliating.
