I have been working with eBay for over a year. There seems to room
for scammers with eBay, though, eBay promises to repay any money
lost. All things considered eBay offers more control to the seller
then Amazon I think.

I never sell on ebay what I can sell on amazon for one main reason:
ebay makes you pay a fee up front, so if your item doesn't sell,
you've actually lost money. Amazon only charges you after you've
made a sale.

amazon may seem more polished, but the fact is anyone can list
items on amazon as long as it is in their database. (you have to
sign up for a higher level to add items) I placed a DVD on amazon
in a few seconds, same as I would on ebay.....The idea that amazon
less risky because it "looks better" is just ignorance on the part
of the consumer....... At least the old ebay had a feedback system
you could trust to check sellers. (they new system is a joke) Its
the new system and the higher fees that are killing ebay and
putting people on amazon, not the "pretty page factor" I was not
impressed by this at all. Poorly researched.
