class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buying a favorite product on Amazon or hunting down the best deals on eBay can feel like an adventure for buyers, but sellers have more at stake when choosing between the two platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsure which eCommerce site will best boost your business? Below, we\u2019ll explore the key differences between Amazon and Ebay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Business Models<\/li><li>Pricing<\/li><li>Seller Services<\/li><li>Buyer Services&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selling_on_Amazon_vs_eBay_Business_Models_Pricing\"><\/span>Selling on Amazon vs eBay: Business Models + Pricing&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, eBay is the company\u2019s main competitor in the third-party sellers marketplace business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"643\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rebatekey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1137938204-643x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1137938204-643x410.jpg 643w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1137938204-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1137938204-235x150.jpg 235w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1137938204.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Amazon and eBay rely on third-party sellers to list their products on the site, but while Amazon looks and acts like a traditional retail store, eBay functions more like an auction house rather than an e-commerce business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazons_Model\"><\/span><em>Amazon\u2019s Model&nbsp;<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon provides goods to consumers directly, selling either their own in-house brand or products from third-party sellers (like you!). The latter makes up the majority of their offerings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pricing model at Amazon is similar to any online retailer\u2014there are fixed prices, with discounts for Amazon Prime members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, Amazon customers are usually very satisfied because learning how to save money on Amazon and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rebatekey.com\/how-to-add-promo-codes-on-amazon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to add promo code on Amazon<\/a> is relatively straightforward, unlike competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"eBays_Model\"><\/span><em>eBay\u2019s Model&nbsp;<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">eBay is an auction house, meaning they exist to facilitate the buying and selling of goods (though without that fast-talking auctioneer you always see in the movies and TV).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At eBay, the business model is centered around fostering a healthy marketplace for third-party sellers and a very specific kind of buyer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These buyers visit the site to search for products they cannot get anywhere else (i.e. a rare comic book collection) and are willing to bid on items through individual auctions. That being said, eBay buyers may also be looking for something as everyday as a discounted pair of sneakers or a sundress from a favorite brand name\u2014eBay has it all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">eBay\u2019s individual auctions can last three, five, seven, or 10 days, and whoever is willing to pay the most at the end of the specified time frame gets to purchase the coveted product. eBay also has an option for sellers to bypass the auction model and instead just set up a straightforward price and purchase method.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selling_on_Amazon_vs_eBay_Services_for_Sellers\"><\/span>Selling on Amazon vs eBay: Services for Sellers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because eBay relies on third-party sellers to list items in the marketplace, it could be said that they\u2019re a bit more <em>seller<\/em>-oriented, while Amazon is more <em>buyer<\/em>-oriented.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, both sites charge seller fees, and have different steps you\u2019ll need to take to set up an account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started_on_Amazon\"><\/span><em>Getting Started on Amazon<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Amazon online marketplace has two different plans sellers can choose from when establishing an account: individual or professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The professional plan<\/strong> is more elaborate and is designed for those who plan to do a lot of selling\u2014more than 40 items a month. The professional plan costs $39.99 a month, but this also gives sellers access to Amazon Sponsored Products ads, which will insert your product into ads on different pages.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The individual account plan<\/strong> is a bit more streamlined and is easier to set up. It also has no monthly subscription fee, but for every item you sell you will have to pay Amazon $0.99. Depending on what items you\u2019re looking to sell, you may need a professional account\u2014you can check Amazon\u2019s list of categories with and without restrictions <a href=\"https:\/\/sell.amazon.com\/sell.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When setting up your Amazon account, you can either use your customer account or create a new sellers account with a business email. Before signing up, make sure you have the following at the ready:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Business email address or Amazon customer account<\/li><li>Chargeable credit card<\/li><li>Government ID<\/li><li>Tax information<\/li><li>Phone number<\/li><li>A bank account where Amazon can send your proceeds\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rebatekey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1687940860-615x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1687940860-615x410.jpg 615w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1687940860-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1687940860-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1687940860.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started_on_eBay\"><\/span><em>Getting Started on eBay\u00a0<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">eBay charges sellers two different fees: an insertion selling fee and a final value fee. The insertion fee is a product listing fee, which a professional seller is charged per listing per category. The good news is all sellers get up to 200 zero-fee listings on the eBay shop every month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final value fee is tacked on when the item sells and depends on the total sale amount which includes shipping and other additional charges. An individual seller may also face additional fees like advanced listing upgrade fees and supplemental service fees (i.e. shipping labels).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start selling on eBay, you\u2019ll need to set up an account\u2014personal is best for casual selling while business is better for more serious selling. To register a business account you\u2019ll need your pertinent business details like business name, type, and address.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selling_on_Amazon_vs_eBay_Services_for_Buyers\"><\/span>Selling on Amazon vs eBay: Services for Buyers&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, Amazon was responsible for nearly a third of all eCommerce in the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That may be because, within the Amazon empire, folks can stream their favorite TV shows, purchase clothing from top brands, order groceries, and download e-Books. It\u2019s a one-stop shop for almost <em>everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">eBay, as we\u2019ve noted, functions primarily as a marketplace, without all the bells and whistles of the Amazon ecommerce platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The additional services these platforms offer for buyers are worth considering when you are deciding which platform is best for your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to send people to Amazon to buy your product, where they may be headed anyway? Or will Amazon\u2019s myriad Amazon buyer options distract your potential customer audience? Are your potential buyers familiar with the eBay model? Will they visit the site simply for your product?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are all questions to ask before deciding which platform is best for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RebateKey_Used_by_Trusted_Retailers_Like_Amazon_and_eBay\"><\/span>RebateKey: Used by Trusted Retailers Like Amazon and eBay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know more about selling products on popular eCommerce sites Amazon and eBay, you can determine which platform makes the most sense for your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To boost your sales on either platform, sign up as a seller on RebateKey.
