eBay Auctions Update

Eric • 21st Nov 2007 • Finance

My eBay auctions are moving right along! Each one has a bid placed, and a couple of them have a lot of watchers. I have a feeling I’ll get a lot of bids Friday & Saturday, as the auctions come close to an end. My strategy of post on Saturday for 7 days, collect payment Saturday, Sunday & Monday and ship on Monday seems to be a good one.

I’m being a little tricky when posting my auctions – see, the auctions have thumbnails of the images, but when you click them, they come to my website. Then if you click again to return to eBay, I set my affiliate cookie. So far, it’s given me another $5 in revenue, and I haven’t even sold anything! The $5 comes from people winning other auctions, after viewing mine.

Don’t worry – I checked the eBay terms & it states:

(5) Affiliate Links. You may use affiliate links to promote your own eBay listings or eBay Store, those of your Agents or those of anyone else with whom you are affiliated. eBay may terminate this provision at any time with 7 days notice. You may not include affiliate links on any eBay.com page or eBay-owned page, such as an eBay listing or eBay Store.

So I’m not breaking the rules. Think outside the box & earn more!
