Amazon VS. eBay for selling?

They're both pretty tough venues, and the performance standards for sellers are, frankly, absurd. If anything more than a passing glance at the item title is required for buyers to fully understand what you're selling, you will have a very hard time meeting the stringent performance standards, because a lot of people simply don't read what they're buying. I've made a lot of money on eBay and a little on Amazon, so I'm not discouraging you from trying it, but it's definitely not an easy way to do business.

I like Amazon better now since I can list and not pay fees until it's sold. But for quick sales, eBay is better IMHO.

Actually, from my experience, I have an easier time selling on Amazon than on eBay, but maybe it's because I was selling textbooks for classes instead of other items But yes, I do agree, if you want to go big, you should have your own website!

Probably for gaining some reputation in the beginning, either Amazon or eBay should be fine

For quicker results, eBay is quite better to sell your products. But if you don't like to pay fees for the listing, Amazon will be your choice.

When it comes to dropshipping, ebay is less strict than amazon with rules especially if you're accepting payments with your own merchant account. You will get paid faster

An e-commerce website is far better for dropshipping than either Amazon or eBay. You are at greater liberty in creating a sales funnel with your own site as opposed to the other two.

Ebay is quicker for sales. But it all depends on what you're selling and the quantity. You could use both, that way you'd have a larger audience

Amazon's Market place is more predictable I would say! :-)

you get higher sell on amazon if they fulfill your product because they will be more exposed (Good for long-term) EBay will sell really good when you start but have to build some reputation. If i were you i would sell on both and then with the money i make, i will open my personal website.

Nothing to loss to try both anyways.

If you know the rules & the "tricks" to list and promote your products - than amazon is the best place to sell by far!
I have conversion rates of over 20% on amazon! I can't get even closer on ebay OR in my Shopify website

Hello! I Like Amazon! convenient to operate...

Between the two, and if it's a high priced item, I'de go Amazon.

Both are good. The good thing about Amazon is that you can pretty much have your own dedicated listing if you do things the right way which means that you won't have any competition for that particular item or "items". The only problem with Amazon are the fees and you have to be careful that using their prime service for shipping if you are using FBA is against their terms. One big downside is that they are starting to restrict a lot of types of product categories that yo can sell. You have to get approved for them.

eBay is great since it's still kind of like the wild west and there are a lot less restrictions but you can to constantly list and re-list. A good example of less restrictions is that Amazon is starting to require that you have official invoices for certain licensed products - at eBay you can sell them no problem.

Both are great places for dropshipping but it just depends on what you are selling.

I think ebay is kinda better than amazon

Amazon and eBay both are good for selling products. I preferably using eBay to sell some electronic goods and its convert better than amazon.

Sell on both platforms and gauge it for yourself for a few months? I prefer Amazon myself especially FBA but there are stricter rulesto follow than ebay.

I tried Amazon for a while but it was very difficult. Lots of rules and specifications that have to be met. Ebay is not much better but has some flexibility and more understanding crowd base. But both required you to work hard and be nearly perfect in customer satisfaction if you want to be a recognized seller.

Remember this, a huge number of people that lose their selling privileges on amazon are dropshippers. Why? because you have no control over inventory or shipping. Screw these up on amazon and you will be on the outside looking in

Check out the article "Ebay vs. Amazon - The Battle of Online Retailers" and then decide which one is better.

amazon it better then ebay.

Amazon and e-Bay are both e-commerce heavy hitters.Amazon and Ebay are set up differently and attracts different customer behaviors.When selling on eBay, you'll be tied up in a lot more busy work then when selling on Amazon.But that's not the only thing to look at. Customer Service, Fulfillment, Promotions, Ease of Use, and not to put to fine a point on it, making you more money online, all these factors are critical to your success.
There are some reasons:
1. Marketplace trust: Element of trust is the seller ratings. Yes, you could find a trusted seller on eBay, but Amazon has created a trusted seller marketplace with their A to Z guarantee system.Better trust means more sales.Amazon created a system where customers have better trust for seller.
2. Simplicity for the Buyer Makes things Better: Amazon.com for having only one listing per product.eBay is trying to be better about this, when you search for a product on eBay, everybody's listings come up.
3.

Amazon is better than ebay because maximum of products are selling by no cost EMI. Then low price than all other sites.

I am also using Amazon for my products and its better than ebay because of low prices.
