I haven't had much luck with ActionAds, and a few of my clients say it's not worth the time. And yes, the "How it Works" page is definitely "regurgitating obvious"

How much time did you run the ads? eBay's cookie lasts around 30 days and many commissions won't be paid out until an auction ends. This tends to result in compounding earnings.
Additionally, forums appear to suck for performance. With one of my forums typically make 90% of the Adsense earnings from CPM based buys. Sometimes that amounts to an advertiser paying over $1 a click in a niche that might average under 3 cents.
I'm not running AuctionAds right now simply because I am focused on other projects, but I would definately give it some time and rotate it and display alongside AuctionAds units.

I ran them for about a week, and yeah, I know about the 30 day cookie. I can still sit back and monitor any revenue that comes in even though I've throttled delivery way back. I've given them almost 60,000 impressions and I just want to see what comes of it.
I was running them in rotation with Adsense during that week, but Adsense was clearly out-performing the AuctionAds.
I will, of course, keep readers informed if things reverse themselves.

One week later, I made an additional 30 cents. Whoopde Doo. This thing is still in the "waste of time" category as far as I'm concerned.

AuctionAds is a waste of time. They pay a CPM of USD 0.01 to 0.02 on sites presenting relevent "products" such as cars and motorcycles.

I decided to try it again last week. Reason being that, all of a sudden, I got a payment of $17 from them via Paypal. But, after running them again for 6 days, the revenue is zero. It seems you CAN make a LITTLE money with AuctionAds, but it might happen way down the road. It's really hard to predict and certainly very hard to track as an income source since money could be made weeks after the ads are run.
I will be removing the ads again today. Chitika is a better use of my time.
