Start Earning Commissions with eBay's Affiliate Program
This lens explains how to get started using eBay's Affiliate program to earn commissions on eBay sales.
Information is provided in a step-by-step style. I recommend you read through the steps first to familiarize yourself with the information, then use the instructions to create your affiliate account and use the tools.
Here is a Summary of the Steps:
- Sign Up for the eBay Affiliate Program
- About Commission Junction

- The eBay Editor Kit

Please Note: The eBay Affiliate Program processes payment though Commission Junction. In order to open a Commission Junction account you will need to provide your contact information and your company Tax ID or personal Social Security Number. You will also need to provide a bank account number for receiving payments.
Note for non-eBay Members: In order to join the eBay Affiliate program, you must be a registered eBay member. If you are not yet registered, click the eBay picture link below to sign up.
This picture link will open a new window. After signing up you can return here to continue.

- You have an Excellent Lens! Good work on the pagerank! I just got a page rank for my personal website recently. I was so happy! Anyways I have a relevant Lens that talks about Cash Gifting, and another great Lens that explains How To Market for Cash Gifting. There are a lot of great ideas on there that are for any at home business. Keep up the good work. Maybe if you have more free time you can utilize another at home business. If you are thinking about possibly getting another idea up and running for extra income check out My Personal Cash Gifting Site. Thank You my friend, I joined you fan club as well. See you soon..
