Beginning July 1, 2006 eBay will raise affiliate commissions on the low end. I can’t tell if the move is revenue neutral - only eBay knows, but what is apparent is that they are very interesting in driving interest in their affiliate program with people new to the program. New affiliates driving $100 - $999.99 in fee revenue winning bids can earn 50% of the fees. This is up from 40% prior to the new rate schedule becoming effective.
It’s easy enough to browse over to eBay and buy something, but how about getting a good deal? Not so easy…
From the Did You Know Department:
I have been monitoring quite a few auctions lately and I have determined that new eBay auction listings seem to appear in the XML web service approximately 4 hours and 10 minutes after being listed by an eBay user. Strange…
I have thrown together several tactics to blunt the effectiveness of eBay bid snipers. You can learn more here:
eBay has announced the winners of their Developer’s Contest. The grand prize went to Unwired, an auction tracking and last minute bidding application but my vote goes to the first place winner, ctxbay. ctxbay displays contextual eBay listings in the same way that Google delivers Adsense to your website. It’s not a standalone application that you install on your site though - they deliver the results using JavaScript.
