All You Need To Know About eCommerce Giant : Ebay.com
If you want to buy or sell something new, unique, and everything in between, eBay is the perfect place for you. The founder of eBay, Pierre Omidyar launched an eCommerce company back in 1995 with the goal of creating an online marketplace that will connect buyers and sellers. The company was then known as AuctionWeb, and the first item that was sold there was a broken laser pointer.
How did eBay happen?
Two years later, in 1997, the company changed its name from AuctionWeb to eBay. The founder and chairman of eBay initially wanted to name his company Echo Bay. Why? Because it sounded cool. Unfortunately, that name was already taken, so Pierre decided to shorten it, and that’s how eBay.com came to life. Over the years, the company only became more popular and acquired about 40 companies including Up4Sale, iBazar, Gumtree, StumbleUpon, and many others. eBay’s latest acquisition was Terapeak Inc. – a data tool company.

Sorry Rick…
Some people get a bit funny when supplying links thinking that I am trying to trick them into joining so here is the link https://partnernetwork.ebay.com/ (not an affiliate link)
I didn’t even know there was an ebay affiliate system but it certainly seems like a good idea.
Is it difficult to get approved? Once up and running, my site could really use this as I would be able to post links to certain areas of ebay that match what’s going on with my site.
There will be recommendations of products too on my site so I could post links directly to auctions while they’re going on to help customers buy.
Hi Denise…
You need to to have a site that firstly is finished meaning that it is not still under construction as well as all of your privacy, disclaimer and Terms of Service displayed on the site then you should not have to much trouble getting approved unless your site is in a restricted category like Adult.
Once you submit it can take a few days for the approval process as they are reveiwed it is not an automated system. it took our site three days to receive a confirmation email from the Ebay Affiliate Network.
Hi Ron

Thanks a million…………..Arian
Hi Arian…
I am not really sure, however one of my readers might post some more information about that for you.
Can anybody help Arian out with this question please.
these days i’d say about thirty percent of my annual earnings com from the ebay partners program its been growing year on year by about 6.5 percent for me but i must admit it took me awhile to develop the correct kind of sites that will make good money from there program
Hi Saran
Yes this is a perfect example of how simply setting up a website to make money as an affiliate does not really work. Of course you need to have a website but then you need to actively improve and promote making changes to find out what does work to get you an income as an affiliate marketer.
Another factor that seems to be surfacing after the Google Farmer Update is that your site needs to have social influence within the social community and be able to hold the attention of your visitors. The days of one page websites getting free search traffic are now over and quality authority sites will start to rule the day from now on.
I was unaware that eBay had an affiliate program available. What is the process of getting approved? Do you have to have an up and running website before getting approved? Do they look at how long your website has been up, content, and ratings? I’m just interested in learning more about the process. I’m sure this would be a great way to earn some extra cash.
Hi Jes
Just do a search in Google for “Ebay Affiliate Program” and you will find it. Before applying however make sure you have a complete website with all the legals in place meaning your disclaimer, privacy and about and contact pages. All submissions are manually approved and what I have found is the more themed the site the better chance you will have.
Make sure also that you site is not to thin with only a few pages of content if you want to really join the program have at least 20 pages of content not including your legal stuff at a minimum.

Hi Sam, you will need to let me know a little more about what you are doing; such as do you have a website of your own or are you using free platforms? What market are you in and what are you trying to sell. Sounds to me like you are using paid ads is that correct.
