Question for Ebay Affiliates

I tried buy it now only with direct to eBay ppc (before they changed the rules), didn't see much difference, but I'm sure it depends on the niches you are targeting.
I did find targeting only auctions ending within a day or 2 to give an increase though (as I was more likely to be the last affiliate they clicked through before making a winning bid).
After the rule change (banning direct ppc) I experimented with a couple of eBay affiliate sites, but it was no where near as successful as direct and I mostly gave up on ppc to try to focus on other stuff. When I use eBay on other sites I'm fuckin lazy and don't really do any targeted searches (really should do though).

Wow, I was working on my eBay BANS website and I noticed the same thing, for me BIN did result in more sales than bidding on an item. However, I think it does change for niche, because mine was cell phones, while the opposite result happened to the site running a Nintendo Wii based BANS
Targeted searches are the best, say you have a forum about underwear that gets a decent amount of traffic and members, launch a buy and sell forum area and make posts in that forum to specific items using ebays link tool. I recently started doing this and have seen a nice increase in revenue.....
Sorta out of context, but........
....or you could just launch a BANS site here and there, target a couple of keywords and when they start ranking you start pushing out more sites
