An Revealing Look at eBay and Amazon – Part II for Internet Marketers

To continue our discussion of Amazon vs. eBay comparison, here are the following focus points that we will look at.

Site Stability
feedback
promote yourself

• Site stability

When changes occur within the site and various factors change, this could affect the way your business will operate. Both Amazon and eBay have taken steps to further improve their sites. Although, I also have to say that when it comes to credibility and reliability, both sites are rock solid in these regards. It’s good that they are constantly improving the site to protect customers and Internet sellers. However, this could be a problem, because some of the changes will also mean extra effort for internet marketers to make sure their online business keeps running smoothly.

• The comment area

For both eBay and Amazon, the feedback process continues. Even negative feedback is acceptable to both Amazon and eBay. When it comes to seller or internet marketer feedback and feedback, just like you, both sites only approve positive feedback and feedback. Which is fair as this will block the negative argument that some internet marketers can give when their product is criticized.

• Promote yourself

As an internet marketer, you will not only want to sell your products, but you will also want to build your name and become popular online and be known as trustworthy when it comes to doing business through eBay and Amazon. Well, this can be really beneficial for you and your business, although with both eBay and Amazon, this is sometimes difficult.

With Amazon, there is a clear restriction on Internet merchants directly contacting and doing business with customers they meet through this site.

eBay had an advantage in this regard because eBay was more lenient in allowing Internet sellers to share details about themselves and their business. eBay was a place to not only sell, but also to promote yourself and your business. Before, you could earn income from eBay and at the same time establish your own business by increasing your popularity. That was before. eBay has also changed the system and this has also been restricted.

So, in this aspect, both are equal.
