Method 1 - BANS (Build a Niche Store)

One of the easiest ways to start making money with EPN is by using BANS (Build a Niche Store) script. BANS enables you to create a EPN affiliate website by filling out forms. You can setup a EPN affiliate website very fast.

Method 2 - phpBay Pro 

Make Money with phpBay Pro

phpBay Pro is another excellent script which can be used for building an eBay affiliate website. The main difference from BANS is that phpBay is an addon script. phpBay needs a website or a blog in order for it to work.

phpBay Pro has a WordPress plugin which can be installed very easily. All my phpBay sites are made with WordPress plugin. It is as simple as uploading the file and activating the plugin.

To learn more about phpBay pro, visit the main page and take a look at some demos.

BANS vs phpBay Pro 

Which one to use?

I use both scripts for my websites as you can see from the BANS and phpBay gallery on the bottom of the page. Both work very well and each of them has pros and cons.

But generally, if you want to integrate EPN with your existing site or blog, I'd go with phpBay and if you want to make a fresh EPN website, I'd suggest that you use BANS.

Both scripts can be customized anyway you want it to look. phpBay is more flexible since it can be integrated to your existing website.
