What is eBay Ads?

Conjura pulls eBay Ads performance and spend data through eBay’s Fulfillment API. This integration includes reporting from Promoted Listings Advanced (CPC) and Promoted Listings Standard (CPS).


Data Available

Core Advertising Metrics

The eBay Ads integration provides the following key metrics:

  • Impressions: Number of times your ads were displayed

  • Clicks: Number of clicks on your ads

  • Spend: Total advertising spend in your account currency

  • CPC (Cost Per Click): Calculated as spend divided by clicks

  • CPM (Cost Per Mille): Cost per thousand impressions

  • Platform Attributed Revenue: Revenue generated from advertising-attributed sales

  • Platform Attributed Units Sold: Number of units sold from advertising-attributed sales


Report Types

1. Promoted Listings Advanced (CPC) Reports

Coverage: Product-level CPC advertising data

Key Fields:

  • Campaign name and ID

  • Ad group name and ID

  • Listing ID (mapped to product ID)

  • Ad performance metrics

2. Promoted Listings Standard (CPS) Reports

Coverage: CPS advertising campaign data

Key Fields:

  • Campaign name and ID

  • Campaign level performance metrics

We are unable to currently attribute metrics from CPS campaigns to a product level, only to a campaign.


Data Processing Notes

Product ID

The system attempts to match eBay Product IDs in the eBay Fulfillment pull to the Listing ID provided in the CPC reports.

As noted above; there is no Listing ID provided in the CPS reports so these campaign metrics won’t be attributed to a product ID.

Historic Data

Conjura historical pulls 12 months of date from sign up.
