    is it easy to find a place where all the ebay category #'s are listed - I want to fine tune some of my cj/ebay affiliate sites to display more relavant products.

    You can use their API.

    the thing with ebay is that it pays so well with new users but so many people are registered on ebay. Not that it's entirely saturated, but it's getting tougher.

    The rates for bidding and BIN are pretty good in the US though. Ebay.ca only pays a flat rate of 10 cents for either, which is a major bummer. I know a lot of people who are very happy with ebay and make money with it.

    I just started putting ebay up about a week ago and haven't integrated their API into my searches yet, so I can't really say firsthand.

    CJ's API is very inaccurate. I use it on only one site. You cannot get eBay categories or products with it.
    If you are trying to find the categories or items on eBay the eBay API is very good.
