As I mentioned in my earlier post 20 ways to make money online ebay is one of the most popular affiliate programs to make money online for bloggers.

There I mentioned about BANS  and Phpbay and how these two can be used to incorporate ebay into your blog. This post will try to give bit more details about the two mentioned methods ,like their pros and cons

BANS :

• cost is 97$,one time.Can build unlimited sites.
• No need to pay for separate licenses
• Best for a newbie who doesn’t have any technical knowledge and who is not familiar with wordpress or PHP.Can be setup within an hour
• Great support forum

Disadvantages

• 97$ may sound too much,for some people.
• not possible to hide ebay links and images on your website.Which might result in your site being slapped by Google.But You can get your affiliate links hidden on a persite basis for 30$

One more important thing to remember while purchasing BANS.You need to be approved as an ebay affiliate to use the product.So make it sure that everything is approved before you purchase BANS

PHPbay:

• cost is 49$.It’s a wordpress plugin.
• If you are familiar with wordpress and know a bit about coding and installation then this is the thing for you.
• great personal support
• Can easily hide your ebay links and images

Disadvantages

• You need to have a little bit of coding knowledge or should be familiar with wordpress.If you are in a bit of a hurry and want to get your site going then it might not suit you.
• Can’t find much help in the forums.
