Yes, mostly they come from Google but a small percentage come from these affiliate sites and of course also from direct ads that eBay places all over the internet.

Think of these sites as an external versions of promoted Listings but where eBay pays the extra fee instead of the seller paying.

Affiliate marketing is what makes the world go around these days, all those travel sites, Expedia, Booking etc. are affiliate sites, they don't actually have hotels or planes or ships, they merely aggregate and funnel buyers to sellers for a commission. Same goes for all those companies that advertise car or health insurance, they are just affiliates they don't actually insure anyone for anything.

Thank you very much.  Your post makes perfect sense to me and that is not an easy accomplishment.

I had a peek at it too and it appears you can list directly onto that platform for $1.99 a listing?

If it links back here, why pay for a listing there? I love additional sites to hawk my wares on, this one is confusing 🙂

History is chock full of businesses that convince people to pay money for services that they do not need.
