Make Money with Ebay Partner Network (EPN)

When I first registered with Ebay Partner network (EPN) back in April 2008, EPN had already moved out from Commission Junction (CJ). For the record, this was my second attempt in indulging myself in affiliates business after my first attempt with Clickbank back in early 2007. With virtually no promotion and backlinks creation due to hectic life of being a final year student, I still managed to get a meager $60+ (2 sales).

It's a long hiatus before I made a comeback on affiliates business but this time with EPN. Apparently I don't stick with Clickbank, at least for the time being, mainly due to the nature of EPN operation that suits me better; no BUM marketing etc. Generating highly targeted traffic on EPN revolves around SEO, Squidoo, Hubpages etc and those are the things I'm good at. Ok let's get to the business.

What do I get paid for?

Each eBay Partner Network advertiser will be paid for complete purchase (winning bid) and registration where each action has a different payment structure.

How much will I get paid?

EPN is one of the most generous affiliate commissions on the net and your earnings are very much depending on how many quality traffic you can drive every month. – the more your traffic you got, the more you earn.

The rates of eBay partner programs are as follows :

1. Compensation per ACRU (active user after registration)

0 - 49                                                                 $25.00

50 - 1,999                                                         $28.00

2000 - 29,999                                                  $31.00

30,000+                                                            $35.00

2. Monthly winning bid revenue tiers

Total winning bid revenue generated        % of Revenue

$0.00 - $99.99                                                 50.00%

$100.00 - $4,999.99                                       55.00%

$5,000.00 - $199,999.99                               60.00%

$200,000.00 - $699,999.99                          65.00%

$700,000.00 - $2,999,999.99                       70.00%

$3,000,000.00+                                               75.00%

The commission and compensation per ACRU are lucrative and if you pick the right niche combined with the right marketing & promotion, you should be able to get decent money every month.

Currently, I have 7 stores (from Build A Niche store - BANS) and 2 stores (from PHPBay Pro) and most of the stores are not fully developed and promoted yet. I will give reviews on these two scripts which have been used ubiquitously by eBay advertisers soon.
