Before getting into building niche websites centered around eBay’s affiliate program, the first thing everyone wants to know–which is very understandable–is their affiliate payout structure. How in the world do I make money from eBay when the seller of those products takes most of the money for the products they sell?

First, go to the following web-page for the information directly from eBay:
http://affiliates.ebay.com/odcs/custom.htm?template=Payout

For every sale that you refer, you earn between 50%-75% of eBay’s cut (not winning bid price, that’s where people get confused). So while a higher priced item would mean eBay’s cut is a larger amount, which would mean your affiliate commission would be higher, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to make hundreds of dollars from a winning bid you referred at a few thousand dollars. At most, you’ll most likely make only a few bucks per referral sale.

You also make money with ACRUs. This is someone you referred to eBay’s website, either with a direct link or a link from a bid item, they sign up for a new eBay account and either buy or sell something within a certain time frame–you’ll make anywhere between $25-$35 for one of these, so it’s a very nice bonus every once in a while when running an eBay niche store.

So you’re making only a few bucks per sale, and every once in a while get a $25-$35 payment… you may be thinking, that’s not worth it! Well I’m here to tell you it is worth it due to (but not limited to) the following two reasons…

Building up eBay niche stores is power by the numbers–a highly successful eBay niche store may only make you a couple hundred dollars per month, or maybe even a considerable amount less than that, but once you get your search engine ranking up and natural traffic is rolling in on a regular basis, that store is virtually on “auto-pilot” mode and you just rinse and repeat the process with another store and continue the process–Power by the numbers.

Some online stores that have nothing to do with eBay turn a good profit and have become highly successful selling items that only cost a few dollars a piece–so low commissions with an eBay niche store is nothing to worry about. It’s all about driving the right traffic to your website(s) at NO cost on your part (takes time but is definitely worth it, and 100% possible especially if you did the proper research on your niche).

    So now that you know all about the eBay affiliate program payout structure, you’re ready to move forward. There are many good niche store creator “scripts” out there, but you need one that is low cost, highly supported, is VERY easy to use, and can produce a search engine optimized eBay niche store in record time.
