As Far as sales go...

[The Don]

Where is a best place to sell your items. Ebay or amazon? By sale I mean buyers. Is it easier selling on amazon or ebay?

[GreenBean]

Selling buyers? Might difficult.

If you mean which site has the most traffic for you to make money, then the answer is dependent on items and you.

What are your expectations? What do you want? That will help you determine how and where to sell

[aspkin]

They're both huge, Amazon actually has more traffic then eBay now but eBay is still in the game. Sell on both I say.

I prefer Amazon, but you MUST have HIGH QUALITY items. Their buyers have more expectations than eBay buyers do. But if you can handle that, the profit margins are generally higher.

Probably worse, recommend you start with a stealth account until you learn the Amazon ropes. Save your real information for the future.

They are even worse, especially if you sell high risk items. A friend of mine sells legitimate DVD's, nothing ⊗⊗⊗⊗, and still got the boot when ONE person complained that a disc arrived scratched. Of course, we cannot be 100% certain that was the reason, but he had over 100 transactions, 45 positive feedbacks and NO negatives.

Stealth is the way to go. And be prepared to have your account blocked and your funds held for 90 days. It may not happen to you, but you never know.

They have a ZERO tolerance for ⊗⊗⊗⊗, and they do not like ANY customer complaints. As a new seller, avoid any A-Z guarantee claims at all costs.

But if you have good quality merchandise, ship quickly, answer any buyer questions professionally, and give good customer service, you should be OK.

And a 30 day return period is MANDATORY on Amazon.

What is their stance on software?

Many of the most counterfieted programs are restricted to pre-approved sellers only. I suggest you look at whatever titles on Amazon, and if there is a "sell mine" button, then it is OK. But more and more products in this category are being restricted, so it can change at any time.

You wont be AMAZON long at all if you are not legit from info i got from other sellers ..alot of items you have to show proof you are authorized to sell high risk items- my buddy was a authorized seller of %^&* and to show all paperwork ..just browse and see the items you want to sell and see the sale prices ..

[IDK]

LOL Amazon banned me, and I never sold ONE single item. There were a lot of high counterfeit items being sold by multiple sellers. They didn't care who was legit and who was selling phakes. They wiped us all out without warning. Never been back since. :>

Can I ask WHEN this happened (approximately, not looking for an exact date)?

[gibsonton]

Jerseus - designer items - software etc ..you usually have to show you are authorized to sell ...my buddy sells oop dvds -vhs -etc anything oop and he doesnt have any probs but he has been on there a long time ... i tried to sell oop items and they wanted me to provide proof - i explained oop items are oop and they didnt get it...oh well .
