eBay sells everything from phone cases to refrigerators, and that wide range changes the strategy. A twenty-dollar product sells on impulse; a two-thousand-dollar one sells on research. Promoting both the same way wastes the second, which is exactly where the commission worth having lives.
Content that helps people decide
Anyone about to spend more researches first. A comparison between two models, a review from someone who actually used it, an answer to the question blocking the purchase — that is the content that converts at higher order values.
And it is content people actively search for, which leads to the next point.
Being where the research happens
Purchase research starts in a search engine, not in a feed. A page of yours answering "model A or model B" reaches the person at the exact moment of doubt.
For that page to be found, it needs to be indexed and to have sites pointing to it. Publishing it across a network of search sites like Magneth handles both at once.
Social media, as a shop window
It works well for cheap products and for keeping an audience. For higher order values it serves as the front door: show the product, take people to the page where the decision happens.
Groups
Deal groups exist in volume. They are worth it when you genuinely filter — nobody needs another group forwarding everything.
Careful with paid ads
Commission per sale on marketplaces is usually lower than on digital products. Paying per click without working out the conversion is the fastest way to work for free. The other platforms are in how to promote affiliate links.
