The same can be said for almost any affiliate program with a well known company.
If you have a site dedicated to, lets say Chess, you may want to provide links to somewhere chess sets can be bought. Providing a live feed of chess sets on ebay may well prompt visitors to click thru and buy a chess set. Even if they click thru and don't buy a chess set a cookie has been placed on their PC so any other ebay items bought during that session will earn you commission.
There are a lot of Niche Websites that get a reasonable income from ebay commission using RSS feeds providing updated content of what is available on ebay. These are often referred to as BANS (Build a Niche Store) and there are many articles on how to do this successfully. In essence a lot of the squidoo pages I create are like mini Niche stores, providing information on the products or niche and providing live links to ebay items available.
It's not making me rich, but it is adding to my income streams!
