Amazon vs Ebay

[leadingsmm]

I don’t have many experience..but I use amazon when I need to get something online!
So I am wondering what i the difference between amazon and ebay?

Which one do you use the most of time?

The primary difference in their business models is that ebay acts as an auction house between a buyer and a seller. Ebay facilitates the communication between the two parties but the pricing is not fixed. Amazon acts more as a traditional retailer in the sense that prices are fixed based on the seller requirements. In one model the the pricing is variable and the other model the pricing is fixed.

ebay is a virtual company. it exist only on the internet.

where amazon has building in x states and around the world.

ebay does all their business online. amazon sales online and in stores.

My choice is Amazon, eBay doesn't convert users to buyers (affiliate) as Amazon.

Look there are so many diffrence in both the business models
Ebay is just online and it mostly acts like a broker and EBay only exists online
where as amazon acts like a trader and it exists offline also

Amazon; hands down.

Both suck when it comes to seller fees but I've sold more on Amazon than I have on eBay, even though my eBay account has 80 feedback, and my amazon account was a fresh account.

eBay sucks if you're starting out with a fresh account because your conversion rates a low because of your lack of feedback and because Paypal puts a 21 day hold on your funds..

I believe Amazon, since there are more trusted sellers than Ebay..

For affiliate marketing I prefer Amazon. For selling BULK items I prefer Amazon. For selling 1 item, I prefer Ebay.

I don't know, there are some great deals on eBay. But I never really got over my initial suspicion to it. It kind of looks scammy. Amazon is alright because you can easily weed out good sellers from bad ones, I think.

eBay is more interesting for me, there is much more space for creativity: you can make each listing unique and then improve it to get to the top

Amazon and ebay have different selling models. On ebay you there is no fixed price and it is good for someone who just want to sell a few thing they own. When we are talking about amazon this is just e-commerce website, which is a platform where people usually sell one or several products constantly at the fixes rates.

really depends what you sell. I find Amazon bring much more traffic, but ebay is good for unique products.

Be careful with Amazon, but if played right its a money making machine
