I'm not 100% sure of the mechanics of how it was done. In this case they (the accused) set E-Bay cookies with their affiliate code through third party unrelated sites without actually sending the consumers to E-Bay, then if the consumer went to E-Bay they got credit for the traffic.
I'm sure others here could add more of how this was done but that's what I got from my reading.
