    You cannot sell affiliate products directly on ebay via listings. However, I have seen people use their Ad Commerce programme to do it. Hope this helps.

    If you have experience of reselling in Amazon then it will be easy for you to start in eBay because both are same.

    There are many wholesale entrepreneurs that have vast products and they are seeking for people for selling the products as their representative. So it will be a good chance of income by doing this.

    On eBay, there are a lot of potential buyers for all kinds of products. It's a global marketplace. Unfortunately for affiliates, you cannot directly sell products as an affiliate. On eBay, you have to be able to collect the money from the buyer. Affiliates just send qualified traffic to merchant's site and never handles the buyer's money. You can't do that on eBay.

    But, there is something else that is easy to do. Here is a simple three step process for affiliate marketers to tap into huge eBay marketplace. One - Go to a reprint rights site or find something in the public domain you can repackage and sell cheaply. You don't need something fancy, just something you can sell for a dollar, and deliver as a PDF. You can even create a simple report yourself. You want something related to the products you promote as an affiliate. When you do the report, stick a bunch of affiliate links into it for other products.

    Two - Run an auction on eBay to sell the report. Charge 99 cents for the report. It will cost you 25 cents to start the auction and another 10 cents in Paypal and end of auction fees, so you'll make 64 cents for each sale. Don't get hung up on the sixty-four cents. That's not the goal. That's just a bonus.

    After the buyer pays with Paypal, you email them the report. They read the report, and hopefully click on your affiliate links. That is the real goal.

    Ebay doesn't allow this anymore. You can only sell information like this in the Classifieds section of eBay which costs around $9.95 for a basic ad.

    Nope, Ebay won't make as much profit revenue if they allow people to act as a reseller/affiliate.
