Amazon VS. Ebay- which pays better for books?

Discussion in 'eBay' started by Ellen C. Braun, Jul 11, 2006.

    I've just signed up to be an affiliate of both companies.

    I want to recommend a book to my 9K mailing list.

    Which pays better, in your experience, Amazon or Ebay?

    Also, is this format correct for recommending books by Adele Faber:
    <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-2073848-5463217?loc=http%3A//search.ebay.com/search/search.dll%3Fsofocus%3Dbs%26sbrftog%3D1%26from%3DR10%26catref%3DC6%26satitle%3Dadele+faber%26sacat%3D267%2526catref%253DC6%26bs%3DSearch%26fsop%3D1%2526fsoo%253D1%26coaction%3Dcompare%26copagenum%3D1%26coentrypage%3Dsearch%26sargn%3D-1%2526saslc%253D2%26sadis%3D200%26fpos%3D21208%26ftrt%3D1%26ftrv%3D1%26saprclo%3D%26saprchi%3D">Click to view these books on ebay!</a

    Thanks!:)

    I personally have had a better experience with eBay. Although their affiliate team isn't the quickest when responding to problems/concerns from their affiliates.

    She said they are trying to get permission to be allowed to post in forums, has not happened yet.

    I've taken a big bite of Amazon books because of the API allowing me to show them on my sites. I didn't know ebay had books and I wonder if they have an API like amazon?

    I would say to maximize your return, offer both links. Some will trust Ebay and some amazon. It's a win win for you.

    I've had much more success with eBay. The big money is with new user registrations. At $12 a pop, it can add up. It's also very easy to integrate live eBay auctions with eBay RSS feeds and the editor kit.
