How do I earn from eBay capsules?
Can anyone explain how my eBay capsules can make me money on hubpages? I found the literature a little vague in terms of earnings.
How much do clicks/ sales earn?
Have you had success or do you find amazon better?
Thanks for feedback
In ebay capsules, you earn from clicks, NOT sales. The sales data exist just to show you what people ultimately bought, so you can showcase your products better.
The amount you earn per click varies. In my case, it has been between 3 and 7 cents per click. That's not much individually, but it adds up if you have an eBay capsule on a popular hub. Say 1000 people view one of your hubs this month, and you have a click-through rate of 3% on a good eBay capsule. That could be up to two dollars with no real effort on your part.
I haven't found much success with Amazon yet, but I know other people make serious money through it. I don't think eBay will get you huge returns, but it's a nice supplement, and you may be able to offer things from eBay that you can't find on Amazon (gently used bike equipment or parts, maybe?).
Thanks brainy bunny I've seen a 15 cent income the other day so wondered what it meant in real terms

Some of my hubs, I do include Ebay capsules that are related to my hubs but I had not earn a single cent nor a single click nor any impression from Ebay. Do I need to key in anything in the Ebay capsules like the ID? May I know what went wrong?

Why am I seeing earnings from Ebay without any sales?I have added a very few amount of Ebay capsules in my hubs (as low as 3-4). Two days in a row I saw small amounts of earnings from Ebay, but not in Ebay sales reports. Is this occurring from impressions on Ebay capsules? Or clicks on capsules?

I really don't know what to do...keep using Amazon capsules or change to Ebay due to the easier report in HubPages. Help would be good in this case.

I'm trying to expunge my account of all EBay products since I just realized they don't pay a commission and instead only pay pennies on large sales. Is there an easier method than going hub to hub and deleting them? ...
