The review
eBay Partner Network pays category-based commissions on qualifying marketplace purchases, with the seller-center page advertising rates up to 4% and the rate card specifying transaction caps and a 24-hour attribution window. The separately presented eBay Ambassador route targets US and UK social-first creators and advertises commissions up to 7.5%, which should not be treated as the standard EPN rate.
