eBay Partner Network

This program also stands in a light comparable to Amazon’s program, since it is run by a website that is a household name around the world. Moreover, eBay awards handsome commissions. Run by Commission Junction in the UK and US, and by Afflinet in Germany, this program operates in the following manner:

    You’ll get paid if someone registers on eBay (through your link) and places a bid within 30 days of having clicked on your affiliate link.

    You’ll get paid if a user registered in this way bids at a live auction on eBay.

The buttons and banners are nicely designed, and make no attempt at concealing the fact that you’re a fan of eBay.

Pros

    Diversity of products: There are millions of products that you can choose to promote, all grouped under several dozens of categories.

    Seasonal discounts: These are offered on brand new products and allow you to acquire more sales during the holiday season.

    Swifter payment: The payment is made through PayPal, and is much faster than that of Amazon – you don’t have to wait for 60 days to get your cash.

Cons

    Cumbersome approval: You’ll need a working website with a requisite amount of traffic or your application will get rejected. Getting accepted without a website is next to impossible, and your chances with a website that has low traffic aren’t very good either.

    Earnings aren’t predictable: Based on the earnings-per-click mechanism, the earning depends on traffic quality, which means earning big will require you to attract high quality visitors to your site.
