Where this option fits
Approved editorial commerce, comparison or curated recommendation site. Check program-specific rules before using a storefront layout.
Multiple participating eBay country sites; commission and traffic rules vary by program/site.
Connection model: Approved outbound links / licensed feeds
This is an affiliate referral route: visitors buy from the retailer. The publisher may earn qualifying commissions and does not acquire a supplier fulfilment contract through a referral link.
Merchant / publisher eligibility
No explicit current Pakistan-resident enrollment and payout confirmation found. International availability is not a guarantee of eligibility.
Customer delivery countries, business residence, account acceptance and payment or payout access are separate checks.

Retail checkout & commissions
The customer checks out with the retailer. The affiliate publisher does not collect COD or fulfil the order through this referral model.
Program and commission conditions
- Affiliate content must clearly identify promotional relationships near links. API production access, permissions and call limits require confirmation; seller integrations are a different product.
- The retailer handles the retail order and its return policy. Reversed, rejected or refunded purchases can affect commissions.
What a scoped engagement should establish
Confirm the approved publisher account, permitted websites, target markets and usable payout method. Select authorized links or product data, place disclosures next to recommendations and define how prices, images and expired offers are maintained. Review reporting and commission reversals separately from retail fulfilment.
Agree build deliverables, client-owned accounts, third-party subscriptions and ongoing support separately. Do not send account passwords or API keys in the public enquiry form.
