Even as far back as ancient times, shopping was never quite the buzzword for men as it was for women. The primitive-communal setup of our ancestors developed women as meticulous gatherers, while men were trained to be skilled hunters. Women had to be conscientious not to pick the wrong berries, as they might poison the whole group. Men, on the other hand, needed to act quickly or their kill might duck away. This ancestral imprint gives us a clue as to why women tend to shop more than men. But, just as they aggressively targeted their prey during primitive times, modern men don't really shop, they just buy. That Cro-Magnon, fast-twitch, impulsive hunting instinct has translated into simple impulse buying in the age of information.

Any online seller worth their salt is always looking for ways to maximize their income. This includes adding passive streams of revenue, and one of the most popular passive streams available is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is basically the process of selling products for someone else, but without all the legwork. In many cases you can get paid for someone else's sale just by funneling buyers through to their site. The eBay Affiliate Program has traditionally been one of the most popular options for prospect affiliate marketers. It makes a lot of sense at first glance. If you're selling on eBay anyway, and you sell to visitors funneled from your own website, you can get paid twice. Of course, you can also get paid for money spent on other sellers' products. It sounds like a win-win. So why has there been so much derision, criticism, and all around scoffing mockery as to the efficacy of the eBay affiliate program? Is it really worth your time? Today's the day you find out, as we go through the data together.

Self-help gurus may say that your capacity for greatness is limited only by your capacity to imagine it. This may be true for people with self-esteem issues, but the hard fact for online retailers is that their capacity to make more money is dependent on the stock they have available. And it isn't just the quantity that matters, but the right quantity for the right product. You can have stock with a lot of one product that doesn't sell well, which means a loss of capital for you, and not enough of what does sell well, which means a loss of potential online sales.

Today we have another guest post for you from eBay PowerSeller and Former eBay Top Seller Account Manager, Erika Garnica. An eBay listing is an advertisement.  This may seem like common sense to some, but I’ve seen enough poorly-presented listings to know that it’s worth repeating.  Now this doesn’t mean that visual presentation is the most important factor in creating a successful listing.  Obviously, price, title, and shipping cost are more crucial in obtaining a successful sale.  But as eBay grows more and more competitive, oftentimes it’s not possible to underprice all of your competitors all the time, nor always offer free shipping, nor create a title that’s always significantly more effective than all the others for the same product. As a result, convincing a buyer to purchase your item instead of someone else’s can often come down to other facto
