Please explain the advantages and disadvantages of an ebay/ amazon home business.?
Answers:
EBAY IS NOT ALL THAT PROFITABLE ANYMORE UNLESS YOU ARE SELLING HIGH DOLLAR ITEMS AND THEN ONLY IF THEY SELL -- THIER FEES HAVE JUST GOTTEN WAY OUT OF PROPOTION --
AMAZON IS ANOTHER STORY -- YOU CAN LIST AS MUCH AS YOU WANT -- NEARLY ANYTHING YOU WANT -- FOR AS LONG AS YOU WANT AND NO FEES UNTIL IT SELLS -- THE ONE DRAW BACK AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE IRS HAS PROPOSED FOR JAN 1 2008 THAT AMAZON MUST REPORT OR SELLERS AND THE TOLTAL SALE TO THEM -- AT THE TIME BEING THEY ONLY HAVE TO DISCLOSE IF ASKED -- THIS GOES FOR EBAY AND OTHER SUCH SITES AS WELL --
You'd need to have your own products to sell, or either purchase items from another wholesaler and resell them. If there are already thousands of a particular item listed at competitive prices, you probably would not want to offer the same things. My advice is to come up with something unique that would be relatively easy to sell.
