Amazon hijacking their own site
 

Pushing little seller to curb every item is basically fufilled.by them wth waste of time all major categories are off limits to sell waste of time wasting energy no money to be made gonna go back to eBay and other sites tired of getting beat down. BY amazon trying all categories and nothing

I'm thinking about going over to Amazon. Ebay is too restricted with all the selling limits.

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

Mix it up and for amazon, don't get married to an item.

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

so how similar is ebay stealth to Amazon stealth? It is pretty much the same concept?

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

Same concept but Amazon takes tracking/linking much deeper.

I should probably get the Amazon Ghost book huh?

It is a pretty modest fee IMO.

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

Getting tougher and tougher - have to spread sales among different platforms

Its worth the effort, ebay has alot more traffic then amazon

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

eBay has not had more traffic then Amazon for a while now.

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

Amazon and ebay are totally different beasts. For almost all of my items, ebay is far and away better but the items I sell on amazon dont sell well on ebay. They have very diferant search results as well. Very hard to find items sometimes do well on amazon just because of this reason. I also have very few overlapping buyers. People who buy on amazon seem to buy there and vise versa on ebay.

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

Someone had some data showing sales on ebay vs amazon and it shows Amazon taking the cake. Not sure about the validity of that data though...

I see Amazon as a winner b/c I can get away from payment holds with paypal.

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

14 day payment hold is expected. Sometimes 45 days, if you grow an account they most always have a 30 day rolling reserve. Usually Amazon has 30-50K of my money at all times.

Re: Amazon hijacking their own site
 

One more thing, lets say they hold 30k as a rolling reserve and next month you increase sales to 70k, they will adjust the reserve sometimes.

This is the number one reason I will not have a very large Amazon business.
