eBay Affiliate Program

eBay is probably the best way to start any home business. It can get you familiar with the online business world. It has it highs and lows of sales. The one big complaint about ebay in recent years : the constant changing of auction and auction option fees. Back in 1998 you could put an average ebay auction up for fifty cents to a dollar. Now they charge buy it now fees and final value fees. Your average ebay auction can cost five to ten dollars when all is said and done. It s almost like taxes, they keep raising them. The problem is you never see half of these fees until the auction is over. eBay has gotten really sneaky in the past few years, sneaking in new fees here and there. Like they aren t making enough. They are the biggest online marketplace in the world. They probably get over 25 million customers a day ( that s just and estimated guess). It may take a small auction hall to come out of no where and take over the marketplace monopoly. Ebay is probably the biggest thing to ever happen to the consumer that wanted to save money, as well as the merchant who wanted to sell and make money. Let s face it, ebay is a monopoly. Even yahoo had to shut down their auction pages down. Yahoo hung in there for a while but, Ebay put them right out of business. If you look at any other market, there is always a contender. Pepsi and Coke. Microsoft and Apple. But with ebay, there is nobody who even comes close. The good thing is, ebay now let s you profit from them with a new program. How about affiliate marketing. I told you a little about that yesterday. Well, ebay has an affiliate section now. It s probably the newest way to make money and it works. Ebay Affiliate Program is set up so you can advertise any auction you want, not just your own auctions. So if you have an ebay affiliate link on your website and someone clicks the link and wins the auction; you get commission.
