Being the largest and oldest online store in the world, Amazon is no doubt a very powerful online company. Starting from books, clothing to all kinds of digital products and watches and almost anything you want in this world: you can just find it on this platform. it can be cheap and it can also be expensive. it is fast delivery and good management plus a powerful affiliate program surely earn this company a big name in this world. but one thing I am not sure : do you think Amazon is a good place to buy stuffs or a good place to sell anything ? Share with me about your opinion ?

I have found eBay to be superior price wise with vastly greater choices and variety and on local levels, Craigslist.

yes eBay and Craigslist are all good market place but I found that they are quite complicated and not easy to find stuffs on their website. Plus eBay will be more complicated when you want to mail your product internationally. That's why Amazon will be better in terms of delivery. That's how I feel anyway. You can tell me more since you may have more experience to share with us .

I buy a lot of small things (wood filler, books, CDs) on Amazon and find it to be just fine. For selling, I used to use eBay, and now stick mostly to Craigslist, as I don't like packing stuff.

@wildlittlefan Most of wht I sell is larger items, like vintage loudspeakers. eBay worked fine for that until I got tired of spending a whole evening packing things. Now I sell locally on Craigslist.

Amazon is an amazing place to shop. I shop there far too often. Usually used products. It seems like there is no money to be made on used books unless they are newer edition college textbooks.

Amazon is great for buying. The fees aren't that high for selling so I would guess it would be good for that too. Ebay is better for selling I think.
