eBay Sale Down this Holiday. Duhh! Here’s the Reason.
I just had a bit of a laugh. I just read an article on the Wall Street Journal about ebay,
and how ebay sales have been hurting this holiday season.
As an eBay affiliate, I can tell you why. eBay recently changed the way that they pay their affiliate marketers. It used to be that a marketer got a % of the sale. Now, eBay pays a whopping 14 cents per click for most marketers.
Everyone knows that they can do much better with Adsense or Amazon in monetizing a site. So as a result, thousands of websites that once promoted eBay, are now moving in droves to Adsense or Amazon instead.
SAdly, eBay is still in a state of denial. They think it’s because there are no hard to find items other than Zhu Zhu pets.
Something tells me that when end of year figures come out, that Amazon will see a huge increase in sales, mainly because eBay promoters changed their sites around to promote Amazon products instead.
