Any other info that may help me to make up my mind about using amazon
would be much appreciated.

i dont use it but a collegue of mine recently said for every 5 orders he has at the mo, 4 are from amazon, 1 is from his website.

you need to research your products on amazon, see if you can compete..

personally over the past year i've noticed alot of my online shopping is amazon - but to get my purchase you would need to offer free or very cheap postage its difficult on amazon as they offer free super saver post, to then buy from a merchant who makes you pay.

With Amazon its cheapest that gets the sale, so as someone said in another thread, it tends to be a race to the bottom.

Thats what it is a race to the bottom,

Its good if you have over stocks / key lines you need to move. But to keep getting the sales you do have to watch your pricea bit.

having said that if you have good metrics you be more likely to have the buy box and can sell a lot less based on price.

did some selling on amazon in the past and like ebay,there are many counterfeit products from the far east and you will find it very hard to beat some of the prices.I've seen ipod earphones selling for 1p on amazon...Truly shocking!

Amazon would be a gret place to sell on but i have been told that they are quite expensive but the only thing you can do is try it out but what are you selling?

Thanks

Have never sold on Amazon myself (although bought a lot from them!) but a friend's 14 year old son buys things on ebay and then sells them on Amazon at a small profit. Doesn't earn enough to give up their day job (schoolboy!) but supplements his pocket money nicely (and is probably getting a great, self-taught, education in business as well!)

I have not had one order through the Amazon site. I have put sports cams and sports watches, step counters but after two months pulled them off

Charges for electronics are not so bad but for other goods they are high

I have to say that amazon has been very busy for us during these last few weeks, double what ebay is sending.
