When it comes to selling products, do you prefer Amazon or eBay Affiliate?
How much have you earned so far from eBay or Amazon affiliate?
eBay is pay per click (so I put it on hubs where I expect clicks not sales)
Amazon is commission (so I put it on hubs where I expect sales)
Amazon is definitely the bigger payer as they pay based on sales. However, ebay pays only based on clicks. Even if you sell a $500 item on ebay you'd end up with a few cents. So, I've taken down ebay from 99% of my hubs and that seems to have been a great decision.
I've made $0.20 on eBay and $2.39 on Amazon in four months or so. Admittedly, I don't put big ticket items in my capsules and I've only used eBay in a few Hubs. What I have sold on Amazon is digital music. I like using Amazon even if clickers don't buy because they get a page to read about the product and sift through user reviews before they decide to purchase. I've said it before, but I'm a terrible capitalist!
