Ebay UK will be in good hands

R.O.EYE are extremely pleased to announce that they will be working alongside the eBay UK
Affiliate team and helping them to support the UK’s premium retail network, the eBay Partner
Network.
Since its launch on 1st April, the eBay Partner Network has already played a significant part in
the UK affiliate industry, paying hundreds of thousands of pounds in commissions to their
extensive affiliate base every single month.
The programme pays affiliates a percentage of the seller’s fees and also rewards for new
users who sign up and bid on or purchase any item.
R.O.EYE’s objectives are to further develop the network through servicing the needs of the
existing affiliate base, including their effective optimisation and recruiting more publishers.
We are also working with eBay to maximise activity from new affiliate business models, which
are at the cutting edge of affiliate marketing and are beginning to generate significant volume.
Affiliates have access to their own login area with a range of easy to use tools for every
business model, ranging from diverse creatives to integrating eBay listings. There’s also the
opportunity to receive commissions from international sales through geo-targeted creatives
and links. Its ongoing development, driven largely from affiliate feedback, is securing its
position as the leading UK independent network.
The development of the eBay Partner Network and the appointment of R.O.EYE underline
eBay’s commitment to affiliate marketing and the development of this significant and
important acquisition channel.
