Ebay affiliate program - anyone else using it?

Anyone else using the Ebay affiliate program?

It was suggested to me by Jeremy that I should try using the Ebay affiliate program on my forum. This was in December, and we ended up getting it done around 3 weeks ago. So far, I'm pretty impressed - and I am not too thrilled with how we have implemented it yet, but it's still doing well. Bascially, it pulls brand-specific auctions into the different brand sections.

You can see how it's set up right now here (after the first post):

Are Alienwares Overpriced? - NotebookForums.com

It's jumped to our #2 performer (nearly a tie with #1) on CJ out of 10 or so. Not bad considering now that it's up, we don't touch it.

Anyone else using it? How are you implementing it?

Hi Laura,
I like how you've integrated it into the forum.
I was using it on one of my pet sites. I was getting sales, but because all the items they were bidding on were so cheap I wasn't making much money. In fact I put Adsense back in the ad slot and it's far out performing EBay.
I think in the right niche, it can be a good money maker. My favourite part of using it was showing the image of the items - it made the links look nicer than a normal generic ad would.
