AMAZON Website

I have bought and sold things on both sites. There are advantages to both. I like the idea of being able to just purchase what I want from Amazon without having to wait for an auction to close. However, I have been able to get things more reasonable at ebay by waiting for those auctions to close. It just depends on what you're trying to purchase (or in your case sell). Books sell better on half.com which is an ebay company. Textbooks will sell faster on Amazon during peak buying times (beginning of fall, spring and summer semesters). Ebay is also better on big ticket items like musical instruments, exercise equipment and household items.

Hi emilie! I don't know a lot about Amazon except that I think it may just be a way to get linked to stores selling the things you want. Ebay is something I use pretty often...lol..I'm bidding on a camera as we speak. Ebay does charge a fee for using their sight and this can become very expensive because it is based on what you sell your item for. The best pointer I can give you is to set what they call a reserve...which is the very least you will take for your product. That way your not obligated to sell a $100 product if someone just bids $1 and noone else is interested at the time. That way if you don't get what you wanted for it you can relist it and try to sell it again. People will also ask you questions about your product so it is important to check on that a couple of times a day. Paypal is the best means of receiving payment. You can accept checks but I wouldn't really reccommend it. Be very descriptive in your products presentation..even the flaws if there are any. Pictures are important too. Good luck and take care.
