Recently I asked veteran Amazon sellers via Facebook what differences they found between selling on eBay and Amazon FBA. There were ten areas identified as noticeably different between the two platforms:
- What You Can Sell
- The Rules
- Listing
- Fees
- Customer Service
- Getting Paid
- Vacation
- Control
- Sales Tax
- Profit Potential
For each of the next nine weeks I'll discuss one of these areas and try to dispel some of the myths that surround selling on Amazon.com
The most important element of an online selling platform is what you can sell. I got my e-commerce selling start on eBay in 2011. My niche was toys and kid's books. I trolled yard sales and thrift stores for my inventory. This sounds like almost every eBayer I know, and you can still use those sources (and more) to find inventory to sell on Amazon.com. However, the guidelines of what is acceptable are different.
