Okay, so...
How many affiliates does eBay have? I've never seen a number. One of the hottest questions on the Affiliates Board is who are these folks who are making $1 million or more a year with their affiliate sites? We wanna see!

Here's a secret.......
Up to 9% of the 15% commission Amazon merchants pay goes to these affiliate sites.
Anytime you are at someones site or BLOG or anywhere you see recommended books that link to amazon those people get 2-7% commission (depending on product category)
Shopping comparison sites like nexttag, dealtime, shopping.com, shopzilla, epinions, yahoo shopping ALL OF THEM notice how they are 30% Amazon 30% Ebay and 40% other sites products.......those people are the ones getting $1 million or more.
Look at the rates shopping.com type sites want individual merchants to pay.... in many cases $.50+ per click. Yet the site is 30% AMAZON 30% EBAY and the rest are schmucks paying 50 cents per click. Ebay and Amazon don't pay per click instead they give a cut on the sale on the clicks.
Amazon also has a program where you can built a template site and fill it with Amazon products you get up to 7-9% Many of these sites are themed relating to their blog or message board club type scenario.
