Or, how to write eBay auction descriptions that get bids.
Before you go online, but after you have photographed your aution item, you need to spend some time writing your auction title. That's right, your auction title. Arguably the most important thing in your auction. If your title doesn't interest anyone no-one will read your ad.
You could have written the most compelling auction description ever written. But unless anyone reads it you'll get no sales. All professional ad writers agree that the title is 9x more important than the ad itself. Before you read a newspaper article, what's the first thing you read?

First, what is an 'affiliate' of Ebay?
Bottom line - an affiliate of Ebay is a a commissioned sales job. Like the historical Fuller Brush salesman, you are an independent representative of Ebay, offering their products or services to potential customers. When one of them buys, you get a percentage of the sale.
But today , in the high-tech version, you have a few very powerful advantages over the sales rep that has to knock on doors all day. You can do this from the comfort of your home, with a computer and Internet connection.
The eBay Affiliate Program pays Internet publishers, Web masters, online partners, and eBay sellers to drive new users and sales to eBay. Affiliates, that's you, promote eBay with banners, text links, and other innovative tools, such as the Editor's Kit and the Flexible Destination Tool.
In return, you receive commissions for driving new, active users as well as winning bids and "Buy It Now" purchases. Currently, the top 25 affiliates in the program average above $100,000 in monthly commissions.

Ebay was created in September 1995, by Pierre Omidyar, who lived in San Jose California.
He wanted his site - then called 'AuctionWeb' - to be an online marketplace, and wrote the first code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first websites of its kind in the world. The name 'eBay' comes from the domain Omidyar used for his site. His company's name was Echo Bay, and the 'eBay AuctionWeb' was originally just one part of Echo Bay's website at ebay.com.
What was the first thing ever sold on Ebay? It was Omidyar's broken laser pointer, which sold for $14.
The site quickly became massively popular, as sellers came to list all sorts of odd things and buyers actually bought them. Relying on trust seemed to work remarkably well, and meant that the site could almost be left . . .
