https://partner.ebay.com/campaign-promo-signup/eBay-Partner-Network.brand
Please make sure you are signing up for the "eBay Partner Network" and not the "eBay Ambassador" option.
1 - Sign in to your main eBay Account
You will be asked to sign in to your main personal eBay account first. If you don't have one, you can create a personal account using this link: https://signup.ebay.com/.
Do not create a new eBay personal account if you already have one. eBay will close your account if they find duplicates.
If you already have an eBay account, don't create a new one. You may have an old eBay account you have forgotten about. You are not allowed to have multiple eBay accounts and they will close all your accounts if they detect duplicates.
Continue by signing in using your personal eBay account email/username and password.
2 - Simplify your sign in
Depending on your device, you can sign in with your fingerprint, face, or PIN. Please note that this step can be skipped.
3 - Enter your information
Follow the instructions and enter all your real details during the account creation.
Here are some fields that may be confusing:
- "Business Model" - choose "Search/Comparison"
- "Property Type" - select "Website" and add in your FreshStore or any website you own
- "Mobile" - select the option applicable to you; can be skipped
- "Social Networks" - enter them only if you have them already. They are not required.
4 - Submit Your Details
Once you are ready, click the button to confirm and submit your details. Your account may take a day or two to be approved.
Account Approval
You will get an email notification usually within 24 hours to confirm your account has been approved.
If your account is not approved, do not worry as it is easily fixed. Check your details and the information you have entered. Contact FreshStore support if you are not sure how to proceed from here.
Getting Commissions with eBay
Now that your account is approved, you can start getting commissions for the sales you make on eBay. This is done by adding a "Campaign ID" to your store settings, which tracks your store sales to your eBay affiliate account.
When you login to your eBay Affiliate Account for the first time, you will see something similar to this:

You can find your Campaign ID under the "Campaigns" section in your eBay affiliate account. This screenshot shows where you can find it:

Your Campaign ID is a long unique number, as shown in the screenshot above.
If you have multiple stores you can optionally create a new Campaign ID for each one. This allows you to track sales and performance per store.
Now add your Campaign ID to your store by logging into your store dashboard and going to "Store -> Settings -> eBay".
Congratulations! You are now setup to receive commissions from eBay.
