eBay affiliates will earn more with the lowered fees

January 30th, 2008 by Robert

I recently wrote about eBay’s CEO leaving and how that might affect you. I opined that I didn’t think it would affect affiliates too much, and according to an article on TechCrunch, it looks like I was correct. The article takes a closer look at the fee structure change and it looks like an according to a quote from the AP,

selling a purse at auction for $25 would have cost the seller $1.91, including 60 cents for listing the item plus eBay’s commission of $1.31. Under the new structure, the seller would pay $2.74, including 55 cents to list the item plus a higher commission of $2.19.

More Commission Is Good!

So while eBay sellers may not be all that happy, it works out quite well for the rest of us. Looks like my timing for getting into the eBay niche store business is a good thing.
