    Depends on the program. I believe it is sign up and one bid minium. That would be $12 signup + .10 bid. Higher tiers pay higher.

    They do not need to win the bid.

    That leaves space for potential fraud.

    Well, eBay decided they want to give away more money, so they are upping their commission payout once again. :)

    New User Active Registrations:

    Before summer 2004:
    1 - 249 = $5 each
    250 - 499 = $8 each
    500 - 999 = $10 each
    1,000 - 1,999 = $13 each
    2,000 - 4,999 = $14 each
    5,000 - 9,999 = $15 each
    10,000+ = $16 each

    until October 31, 2004:
    1 - 249 = $10 each
    250 - 499 = $13 each
    500 - 999 = $16 each
    1,000 - 1,999 = $17 each
    2,000 - 4,999 = $18 each
    5,000 - 9,999 = $19 each
    10,000+ = $20 each

    until January 31, 2005:
    1 - 249 = $12 each
    250 - 499 = $16 each
    500 - 999 = $20 each
    1,000 - 1,999 = $24 each
    2,000 - 4,999 = $26 each
    5,000 - 9,999 = $28 each
    10,000+ = $30 each

    starting February 1, 2005:
    1 - 499 = $20 each
    500 - 999 = $25 each
    1,000 - 1,999 = $30 each
    2,000 - 3,499 = $35 each
    3,500 - 4,999 = $40 each
    5,000 - 7,499 = $42.50 each
    7,500+ = $45 each

    Jumping in a bit late, but this is kinda interesting by eBay - yea, while it seems EVERYONE has an account, it also seems like a move by them to further consolidate their monopoly position in the auction market - can't say I blame 'em - you want to be the #1 player in this area.

    I guess Shawn must have been close to the top 10 when his site was ranking number 5 in google, I doubt though he or the other top affiliates would share the statistics. Can not give all the secrets away :)

    If you made $500,000/month, that still would not put you in the top 10 (I never was anywhere remotely close to that). The top guys do it through PPC.

    Would be interesting to know what sort of monthly PPC budgets these guys have. Have you not tried PPC yet Shawn?

    I've got a customer that does the PPC route. He does quite well. But from our dicussions it seems like he spends a lot. He makes a lot too. I'd rather go the low overhead route. It seems like you can do quite well spending almost nothing. I'd rather bring in X, than spend X and make X. I've already gone that route owning an ISP. I seem to take in what I spend. That's no fun.

    It's not based on anything concrete or any insider knowledge or anything, but I would guess that for the money they bring in, they spend probably about half in PPC. With eBay, it's a high cost of entry because of their tiered commission structure. High volume guys make 250% more commissions per transaction than the low volume guys. The minimum for the highest tiers would be 7,500 active registrations and 100,000 bids in a month... and works out to $362,500 in commissions. Could probably be achieved with a $150,000 (ish) PPC investment.

    So unless you can commit to high volumes, it's not worth it... Without the tier system, the same numbers (7,500/100,000) would only give $160,000 in commissions.

    ....... interesting comments. I always thought the top affiliates for ebay and amazon where those involved in adware programs. For example, popular download sites kazaa etc.

    Shawn, where do you get this info from?

    Anyway, it seems the ebay affiliate program is currently restricted to people in the US only? (read it somewhere in the rules) Tried to sign up but got the application rejected. Shouldn't they open this up to the rest of the world? Most affiliate programs already accept international affiliates.

    Singapore. It ain't in there...

    I thought those are the different ebay sites you can promote. You would still need to be a US resident to join the affiliate right?
