What's better Amazon.com or Ebay.com to buy and sell products ?

I have been selling my used books on Amazon for a while.

1- Generally Amazon is a better place to sell stuff but not for everything. For selling electronics and some special stuff you should get a sort of permission from Amazon to be able to sell your item.

2- You may sell everything you want on Ebay. You make your own listing but to sell on Amazon you should sell whatever is available on their website. If it is not available you should recommend it to them and after their approval you get a chance to list your item.

3- Ebay is an auction website. Amazon is not. Amazon used to have an auction website but they were not successful on that, they closed it down.

4- To sell your item on Amazon you should be patient. Amazon has less visitors and you might end up with waiting more for your item to be sold.

5- From my experience I should tell you that Amazon fees are tiny in compare to Ebay fees! There is no listing fee in Amazon but in Ebay they charge you as soon as you list your stuff for sale. They both have final fees if your item is sold.

6- In Amazon you name your price, so you will get at most as much as you list it for but in Ebay sometimes quite amazingly you may sell something in a very higher price than you had originally thought!

So, in summary if you are not in rush use Amazon. It has tiny fees and you get a fair amount of money for what you want to sell.
