It's a little old, but there's a very good article on this at this link Check here:ezinearticles.com/?eBay-Auctions-vs-Amaz... bottom-line it for you, though: eBay is the better choice in most instances. Their fees are lower and policies a little friendlier. (Some disagree....) The exception I think would be in selling books.

You're going to get much more exposure for books on Amazon and are likely to be able to sell for a better price. But there's another place you should consider: Half.com. It's owned by eBay but I've heard much better comments about it than either eBay or Amazon.So it's worth a look.

I see one other question similar to this here:URL4 may be others but it's the only one I spotted. Askville is still not quite friendly enough when it comes to finding older questions.It will get better. I hope this helps!

Don't make me laugh! Amazon Auctions for all intents and purposes is just about dead. The majority of the "sales" there seem to be to Nigerian scammers who want to send you a too-large check so you will send the item and a partial refund (and of course the check is fake), or ditto who won't "send" the non-existant Western Union Moneygram until you send them the tracking number for the item.

As you cruise through Auctions you will see very, very few items with any bids at all. Right now EBay, especially in certain areas, is the most active game in URL1 many areas involving collectibles, it has become almost the only game in town or actually in the world. And yes, the fees are high, but I find that if I can reliably find and sell items in the $100 to $200 range the fees are much more tolerable.

Cruise the site in areas you know something about and get a feeling for what types of things sell well versus things that don't. Now if you are looking at Amazon Marketplace, that is the best deal I've run across in a long time. I sell books and decorative china on Marketplace.

I have a Pro Merchant subscription which means for a flat fee of $39.95 per month I can list thousands of items for sale, and in some cases, even create a listing page for items Amazon doesn't already have listed.It is true Amazon then gets a commission but then so does almost any site you sell on. EBay charges me a monthly store fee, plus a monthly amount per item in my store, plus an amount for every auction I put up, so I don't want to list anything that I am not absolutely certain will sell.

EBay trumps Amazon eBay just has more people buying, plus you can use Paypal to pay for items and it's integrated into the system. I tried selling the same item on both as a test - on eBay I got $79.99 for the item with Buy It Now within an hour of posting it for sale. On Amazon it sold for the minimum bid and took an entire week!

I would never list on Amazon again. Sources: My knowledge .

Yes... For me it really depends on what I’m selling. I have never used amazon auctions before, but I frequently sell on Amazon Marketplace and occasionally on ebay. Typically, if what I’m selling is sold new by Amazon, I sell it on Amazon Marketplace.

There are multiple reasons for this: They are so easy to list: You literally just type in the UPC of your product and click "Sells Yours Here. " Set the price, your location, which shipping methods you accept, and bingo your item is listed. I sell CD’s, DVD’s, Books, DVD Players, Electronics, Toys; or anything else that amazon would sell.

The listings last for 60 days and there are NO LISTING FEES: Your item can be listed for 60 days and not sell, and this doesn’t cost you a dime. You can also modify the listing, such as change the price, quantity on hand, etc. After the 60 days, if it didn’t sell you can relist it. Sometimes, just for the heck of it, I’ll list something for a crazy outrageous price that no one should pay for a product, and it will sell.

So I make out better than on Ebay. People enjoy just searching for a product and then finding ALL used or sold by sellers products that they can sort by price and what not. Rather than on ebay where they use keywords and may not be finding the best deal since they may not have found an item that may be priced lower based on the keywords they used.

Amazon is more like a store rather than an Auction, so people trust it more for some reason. The only drawback of Amazon Marketplace is you cannot sell something that is not listed for sale on Amazon.com. Like I said, I have never experimented with Amazon Auctions, but in this case, I sell it on Ebay.

Ebay charges the listing fee and then a final value fee, which can be less than Amazons final fee and typically is. In my opinion though, based on the convenience factor of amazon and the long listing and flexability of price and other options; I like to use Amazon if I can help it.My items sell for alot more on Amazon as Opposed to Ebay anyway, so it always works out in my favor. The above was the advantages/disadvantages of one over the other question.

I’ll answer the other two questions as well: Which one have you had better luck with? : Amazon Which one has lower fees? : Ebay Hope this helps out!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
