What is the Referral Opportunity?

Auction Zone believes in Profit Sharing its income with its loyal members.

We are therefore proud to offer an excellent Referral Commissions opportunity to Auction Zone Members and it is FREE to be apart of.

In a nutshell, you can be earning an extra income from members you introduce to Auction Zone, who sign up and use your UserName as their Referrer. Commissions come directly from income that members pay to Auction Zone for their Auction Zone fees (for listing and selling items). This income can be split up to those who qualify for referral commissions.

Up to 90% of any payment made to Auction Zone from a member can be paid back out to other members to share who are associated to the payment members referral group. (see 'How do I Qualify for Commissions' for further information.)

Important: new members must enter your UserName when signing up as they do not get another chance to add or change their referrer after signing up.

Auto Referrals
New members who were not introduced to Auction Zone by you or anyone else (hence having no referrer), can be automatically referred by you if they have purchased their FIRST item from you and you leave them their FIRST ever Feedback of 99% or higher, thus you become their Auto Referrer.

GOOD NEWS: Once you are a members referrer, you stay their referrer for life.

Not only can you earn referral commissions from people you refer, referral commissions come from people you've introduced who have introduced others and people they've introduced going 7 levels deep and an unlimited number of people can exist on each level.

It is the loyal members who will see most benefit from Referral Commissions, those who have reached higher membership levels, thus having deeper active referral levels to gain commissions on and those members who have a large number of members in their referral group. Other excellent commissions may come from any 'power' sellers you have in your group or when expensive items are sold and payment made to Auction Zone.

How are Commissions Paid?

Commissions are automatically calculated whenever a payment is received and processed from a member to Auction Zone.

Up to 7 members (from Level 1 to 7) above the paying member may receive a Pending Commission to their account if they qualify for commission based on their specific membership level.

Once a month, all Pending Commissions become Paid Commissions where members Pending Commissions balance is $5 or more. You can view your Pending Commissions within 'My Control Panel'->'View Pending Commissions'. You can also view your Paid Commissions in either 'My Control Panel'->'View Paid Commissions' -or- 'My Control Panel'->'Account History'.

Members can request to be sent a Payment cheque or Direct Bank Account Deposit from Auction Zone by emailing to admin@auctionzone.com.au when their Auction Zone account balance is $10 or more Credit. There will be a $2.20 postage, cheque & administration fee charged for Auction Zone sending out a cheque to a member. Direct Account deposits will be charged a $0.70 fee. These charges are mainly to cover bank/postage charges.

Consider using your Commissions as credit to pay for Auction Zone transactions such as placing a Home Page Feature item listing and for Final Value Fees on sold items etc., as you will have credit in your Auction Zone account to promote your items. If you have enough credit in your Auction Zone account, it may end up costing you nothing to list and sell your items.

To understand how commissions are paid, if you have a member immediately below you who signed up with you as their referrer, you would be entitled to Level 1 commissions (25%) for any payments they make to Auction Zone, if you qualify for commissions at this level.

Lets assume they make a $10 payment to Auction Zone, and you qualify for the commission, you would have a $2.50 (25% of $10) level 1 commission.

Also, if they are the referrer to someone called Fred101, and Fred101 makes a payment to Auction Zone of $10 for placing a feature add, then pays Auction Zone. You could be entitled to a Level 2 commission from Fred's payment (ie: $1.50 (15% of $10) commission). Fred might be the referrer to other sellers on Auction Zone too. This process goes 7 levels deep and for any type of member payments except site banner advertisement fees which are exempt.

Feel free to make up your own referral income generating examples and show your friends the potential.

How do I Qualify for Commissions?

To qualify for commissions you need to have at least 3 feedbacks (Zoner Member Level). This will allow you 3 levels deep of referrals to claim. (See Help Section 5. Member Levels & Benefits)

You must also have a currently listed auction on the site
-OR-
have won or sold an auction item within the last 90 days worth $2 or more
-OR-
have a current bid on an Auction Zone item.

The following table indicates what the minimum number of feedbacks (or the membership level) you require to be eligible for commission and the % of commission you will receive at each of the 7 levels from all your referral group members:

Level	Membership	Feedbacks	Commission	Icon
1	Zoner	3	25%
2	Zoner	3	15%
3	Zoner	3	5%
4	Silver Zoner	20	5%
5	Gold Zoner	50	5%
6	Amethyst Zoner	100	10%
7	Sapphire Zoner	250	25%

How do I build my Referral Group?

There are 4 ways to build your referral group in general. All of these options give you the opportunity for others to become part of your referral group. Simply provide your User Nickname to others to enter you as their referrer.

PROMOTE AUCTION ZONE

1) MEETINGS: Introduce Auction Zone to friends, family and business associates by presenting the Auction Site in person, its Features and its Opportunities to them 1-on-1 or even by holding a small meeting (or larger group meeting). There is a brochure that can be downloaded from 'this link' (place link here - coming soon), feel free to print and distribute.

2) EMAIL: Email the Auction Site and the Referral Opportunity to others via logging into 'My Control' panel, then selecting 'Promote Auction Zone via Email'. Simply fill in your friends, family and business associates email addresses and submit. The email will contain automatically generated content about the Auction Site, inviting the email reader(s) to investigate further. (Click here to view the email that is sent - coming soon). Please do not email people you do not know. Auction Zone members are absolutely not to spam others.

You can also email potential members via normal email in your own personal approach and attach the -Auction Zone Brochure- (link here).

3) LIST ITEMS: List alot of items on Auction Zone for sale. If any new members buy an item from you or win an auction from you who do not have a referrer, you automatically become their referrer if you are first to leave them a 99% or higher feedback rating and then you can reap level 1 (25%) commissions from payments they make to Auction Zone through their sales/transactions, plus commissions from their group as it builds over time.

4) BROCHURES: (coming soon) Print and distribute Auction Zone Marketing Brochures or email to friends/associates. You can find them for download here or within your 'My Control Panel' under Marketing, Marketing Brochure.
