If you are interested in promoting eBay as an affiliate, you should know that they are no longer using CJ as the affiliate platform. They have their own in-house affiliate program now called eBay Partner Network.
This is something you should really consider if you’re interested in promoting a brand that’s recognizable worldwide.
Be sure to read the terms and conditions before you join. Specifically, you’re not allowed to do direct linking from a PPC search engine ad to an eBay landing page. Going through your own site first is okay. Maybe you can check out BANS if you aren’t already using it. That’s a great way to construct highly targeted landing pages for this purpose.
The compensation is based on a tiered structure and you’re paid based on a percentage of the winning bid (promote high ticket items!) or the number of active new members recruited.

Hi Alan,
I have allowed your comment even though it is bordering on spam since it does not in any way address the topic of my post.
I do not do link exchanges. I will, however, link to your blog post if you have something interesting to say.
One piece of advice, if you choose to contact a blog owner, it will capture their attention if you address them by their name. This is true for me. I am more likely to respond to an email if I can tell that the author has taken the time to read through my site and at least learn my name.
Otherwise, I will assume it is part of a generic mailing to multiple blog owners with the same canned message.
Hey Hock,
I’ve got 6 bans stores. I would highly recommend this program for anyone would would like to make money online. They take a little work to set up and a little promotion but they really do make money.
I made the switch last week to the new eBay Partner Network. I actually like it. So far the daily reports seem to be accurate whereas CJ never really seemed to deliver.
Anyway, all the best,
Paul
Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing about your experience with BANS and EPN. I think that the most critical part about BANS is how you promote your sites, i.e. driving traffic to it. Do you have any tips to share?
