access account affiliate affiliates amount blog calculation caused cheers clear couldn create cut determine don download ejunkie item items log logs manually number pay paypal perhaps problems process product products program recall revenue sales sell seller send share site sort store taking total transaction website welcome

I am thinking about how to best use E-Junkie to sell other people's products on my website and the best way to share revenue and use affiliates. Any input is welcome.

To be clear, I am taking people's CD's converting them to MP3 and using my store, e-junkie account, and blog to sell their products. I will be taking a 50% cut. What's the best way to do this?

***Perhaps I will just sell their items and at the end of each month download the transaction logs and manually send them (via Paypal) their 50% share. I want to automate the process but don't see how.

I could also set them up as affiliates, but then other people could be affiliates and I don't want the give those other people 50%. I only want to pay affiliates 25%.

Perhaps, I could create an affiliate program for others - say 25% - and again, just manually do a revenue split at the end of the month for my partners?

What do you think?

cheers - Ryan

I have the same biz model (not cd to mp3) but sell other product at my site.
I have a sell # assigned to each person. When I create the item ID in ejunkie; I include the seller number ie:
006seller:mypartnumber:theirpartnumber

then I extract the log each quarter; sort by the seller# (006seller) and total all amounts, then determine the amounts. Since I also have an affiliate sales I have to subtract that amount before calculation. I do this in access and excel.

I experimented using the e-junkie affiliate and it caused problems for me. Don't recall the ins and outs on why I couldn't use it.
