Ebay Affiliate Primer
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.
