I don't feel people can earn much money from Amazon and ebay. But Amazon and ebay have different services. I prefer Amazon than ebay. With Amazon, they charge your money when your item is sold. With ebay, they charge your to list your item and also charge the final value of the sold item. In addition, with Amazon, there is no list days as long as you go to Amazon account once a month. With ebay, there is list days and varied fee for each different list days. Ebay doesn't care the unsold item, but only earn your money for listing. Moreover, if your item sold, you also charge final value fee. Therefore, I prefer Amazon than ebay. Amazon, you get charge when your item sold and there is no list days! This is great about Amazon! I definitely recommend my friends to Amazon.

I have never used Amazon, but I stopped using Ebay a couple of months ago. Their prices have gotten too high & lately none of my items were selling. So I stopped using them altogether. Now I just have to find someplace else to sell my items. Any suggestions? LOL.

That's true! I have experienced the same experience you have. None of my items are sold but already spent my lot of money. I really don't like using ebay because it costs too much money while haven't make any item sold.

Why nor take taobao into consideration just for the reason that you have't had the experience in using it?Maybe it's some gaps in international shopping.But in some field,for example,it is all free either for customers or sellers.What is more,its service is also good.I think that taobao can be the winner in some fields when compared with either Amazon or eBay!

I believe taobao is a online market in China. I do have a taobao account, but I don't use it because I must have a China bank account, otherwise, I can't send and receive money online.

shop at amazon.com because I trust them more then anyother store. There very reliable and there pretty fast with there shipping and they do help when theres a problem which I have yet encounterd and I have been on there a very long time and nothing has ever went wrong never got a damaged item. Plus they pretty much have everything so why shop anywhere else.

I think that each has their place. I shop both frequently. As a business owner I think it all depends on what you're selling, what your goals are and how you're trying to get there. And there is of course no reason you can't sell on both.

eBay of late has made some very unfriendly changes towards sellers such as not being able to leave negative feedback.

But it has some advantages that Amazon doesn't like being able to auction an item with a reserve price.

Depending on the item people will sometimes pay far more than it's actually worth if say it has a sentimental value to them. So the item you may get $50 for on Amazon because you set a flat price, you might get $200 for on eBay.

It really just depends. Marketing takes a learning curve. Sometimes we win big and other times we take a loss. Hopefully overall we do well.
