Store Referral Credit requirements:

To qualify for the credit, a sale must meet all of these conditions:

1. The buyer must go to your eBay Store directly from a location outside of eBay
For Web sites, "outside of eBay" means that ebay.com does not appear in the URL.

You can direct buyers to any of the following parts of your Store:
o Your Store's main page
o Your About Me page
o Your internal search page
o A Store category page within your Store
o A search results page within your Store, based on keywords you've set
o A custom or landing page you have created within your Store

2. The buyer must go to your Store because of your promotion outside of eBay
eBay's system interprets any of the following events as caused by your off-eBay promotion:
o Buyers type in the Web address (URL) to your Store in their Web browser.
o Buyers click a saved bookmark to your Store in their Web browser.
o Buyers click a link to your Store that you've placed on another Web site or in an email. To notify eBay's system that your link led the buyer to your Store, you must add a referral code to the end of the URL (?refid=store or &refid=store, depending on which part of your Store you direct buyers to).

3. The buyer's Web browser must accept cookies

4. The buyer must purchase the item during the same Web browser session used to enter your Store

5. The item sold must be in Store Inventory format

6. Emailed links to buyers qualify for credit if there is a referring ID in the URL that you send to a prospective buyer
