eBay Selling

A lot of people wonder whether selling their books, CDs and DVDs is better on eBay or on Amazon. The answer really depends on how much you have to sell and how quickly you want your money.

Because of recent changes to eBay’s selling fees structure, the cost is alomst the same. The main difference is that to sell on Amazon you have to pay an extra .99 per sale. If you pay the monthly $39.95 to join Amazon’s merchant account program, you never have to pay the extra .99. Of course, if you don’t have a lot of items to sell, it will not be worth it to pay the monthlyfee to Amazon.

If you want your money quickly and you don’t mind the extra fee, Amazon is probably the way to go. You can get a direct transfer of your money once per day from Amazon. Media items tend to sell far quicker on Amazon, but often the price is a little lower than you would get on eBay.

So, it really comes down to what your personal needs are. If you have popular titles like bestselling books or movies that have been popular and have been out for a long time, they are usually not worth selling on Amazon. If you have rare items that you want a high price for, eBay is the place to go. Otherwise, just consider how quickly you need to be paid and whether the Amazon ProMerchant account fees are worth it.

Once upon a time, you could sell ebooks on eBay. There was a category for them, and even a subcategory for selling ebooks about selling on eBay. I wrote an ebook compiling everythign that I had learned over the years about how to make a living through the site, how to buy and sell for a profit and how to make sure that you keep making a profit. The ebook was listed a couple of months before the ban took place and it did pretty well until then.

After the site banned the sale of all ebooks, I wasn’t sure what to do with it since I’ve never burned a disc before and don’t really care to. I recently revamped the ebook to reflect all of the new changes in policy and how that has affected the way sellers have to sell on the site. Last week I set up my own site to sell it. And since I don’t have to pay eBay fees for it any longer, I priced it for far less than it had been selling it for on eBay. If you’re interested, you can get the ebook here .

If you’re interested in giving me a testimonial about the ebook, just let me know. I have been collecting testimonials from readers and would like to put several on the site.
