I run a few eBay affiliate sites that pull auction listings from the USA, Australia, and the UK. In the last few months I’ve noticed a huge spike in Australian traffic, but not much extra cash ends up in my pocket. Why? Because eBay USA pay 50% of the total fee per auction - and eBay Australia pay a pathetic 20% …

I’d like to create more local Australian sites, but with the commissions the way they are now, I’d have to make more than twice the amount of sales to equal my US based stores. Pffft…
