The first affiliate program that we became part of was the eBay affiliate program. This program allows us to create a web site that features eBay auctions and receive anywhere from 50 commission on eBay revenue.

There are two ways that you can make money as an eBay affiliate:

• Get people to sign up for eBay. You get $25 for each person that joins eBay by clicking a link on your site and then goes on to buy an item or win an auction on eBay in the next 30 days.


• Get people to win eBay auction items from your site. You get up to 75 - 75 range.

How Much Can You Make?
