To be honest I think more people choose eBay over Amazon when it comes to selling. It is a lot easier to get started selling on eBay over Amazon but it is also a lot easier to get your eBay account or Paypal account suspended faster than on Amazon. If you are going to sell name brand stuff you should choose Amazon, they don't really attack you over it like eBay. As you said eBay will get you "VEROed and consequently suspended for listing."
1) Amazon accounts that are created after Jan 1st, 2012 have the 14 day disbursement period, which is seven days less than eBay's 21 day hold.
2) Amazon doesn't suspend you for everything like eBay and Paypal does,
3) Yeah you might go under review, I have been under review over six times. The first two reviews last 30 days, but most reviews after that last 2 weeks or so. My last review was only 10 days, which isn't bad at all. And depending on the amount of sales you have, really determines if you will get hit by a review. In my experience anything over 750 bucks, 2 grand, 5 grand, ten grand, 20 grand, and 30 grand you will get hit by a review.
4) Some fees are way cheaper than eBay fees, which add up when you gross a lot.
5) You don't need to create a fancy listing.
6) Negative feedback doesn't affect you as much as it does on eBay.
7) I increased my sales on Amazon than on eBay.
I can go all day why Amazon is better than eBay. Maybe eBay works better for some people, it depends on what you are listing. I am just trying to show people they need to look into Amazon.
