Now my listings in my store show the picture and the filled in items, publisher and so on, then right below that they show other dealers like items.

I have a small business where I make my own goods and sell on both eBay and Amazon. My sales with Amazon is roughly twice but I enjoy getting the sales through eBay more. Amazon customers can be demanding and returns are more common. Seller support with Amazon huh? eBay has far greater seller support and they have a program for international shipping which the others don't. I have gotten several orders through eBay through International shipping and all I do is ship to eBay’s shipping center and not have to worry about International rates and tariffs. Listing on eBay is easier than Amazon. Getting paid is another big deal, never once had any problems with eBay and you have options. Amazon every two weeks and there has been times when that was skipped be cause of some glitch.

So how are they suddenly selling your branded items...thieving maybe??? It is truly a good place to make more money than on some other platforms. Just go into it with your eyes open and read about what other sellers are currently going through to help assist you.

Bonanza does no marketing at all, in fact they would much rather you do social media advertising on your own and this does not work for people who do not use social media. Facebook marketplace is only good for flipping furniture locally and sourcing. After that, it's full of scammers. Amazon FBA favors big sellers and is not friendly to small sellers. I guess the best thing about them is that they take care of all returns and other customer problems.

@@albertodeulofeu5277 ugh I wish I could upload a photo on here. Usually you can tell just from the packaging. It will feel cheaper and the words will be spaced odd or the packaging will be completely different, it's a whole lot easier to tell when you've bought the product for years and have the real one to compare to. But the biggest indicator was the product itself. It had a completely different smell and texture and when I put a little on the back of my hand it dried sticky whereas the real one pretty much evaporates and leaves the skin smooth. I bought dove deodorant from Amazon for a little cheaper than usual and I used it for months and was thinking I had all of a sudden developed sweating problems lol but when I bought another one straight from Walmart I suddenly realized the Amazon ones were fake. The packaging was completely different - the bottle was smaller, the words were odd, the nozzle didn't spray properly and the deodorant itself felt different. I've bought many fakes over the years but I'm starting to learn not to buy certain products from Amazon, ebay or 3rd party companies. Granted the person who accused you of selling fakes may have just wanted to be able to return the product and it not be considered buyers remorse but then again maybe he's just got a lot of counterfeits and he's paranoid. Gillette razors, makeup products, face/hair/beauty products, sports jerseys, victoria's secret clothes, handbags, ugg boots, etc, etc so many things are faked and being mass produced in China and sold to people who don't know any better. I wish they would just ban the Chinese sellers but A) they would never because they bring in so much profit and B) the Chinese sellers are (supposedly) shipping from US facilities which makes it more difficult to tell. Trust me I get it. A few years ago I had a lady buy 4 higher end sports cards and try to claim they were all fake 🤦♀️ and the worst part is she got away with keeping half of them and damaging the others she did actually send back and I was too new to reselling to know I could file a police report and everything.

After ebay got rid of PayPal they started initiating returns without our permission than taking MORE money from us than we received from the sale. I don't know about other sellers but i can't afford getting paid 69.00 for an item than getting charged 85.00 for the return, than spending an hour getting the run around on the phone. That's a 15 dollar loss and an hour of wasted time. I imagine that either the big sellers just have to let it go because they don't have time to deal with it or ebay is discriminating against small seller's by making it miserable enough that they just leave. Ebay must be raking in a pretty extra penny. Imagine if they only skimmed 16 dollars a month from every seller and half of it goes ignored because no one has time to fight with the customer service bot about it.

Gahhh.. I have been an Amazon seller for 22 years.. They do not care about their sellers.. The policies are very restrictive , and they come out with new rules every few weeks. Bots are everywhere and charge sellers with policy violations all the time. Sometimes warranted,, sometimes not. On top of that,, you are advocating for FBA.. That is crazy. Once you send your product to an FBA warehouse,, not only does it take weeks or months to get checked in,, they lose inventory all of the time.. Back to the policy violations,,, If you have inventory in an Amazon warehouse,, when a policy violation occurs and you are deactivated, they refuse to pay you or give your inventory back, AND sell off your stolen inventory with "Warehouse Deals".. or liquidate YOUR inventory by the truckload.. NEVER go FBA.. Seller services are out of India and they just read from a script.. You could be talking to a wall.. Amazon used to be a good place to sell,, and I still do all FBM (fullfilllment by merchant) only.. They take 15 percent of the sales price AND 15 percent of your shipping.. Pro seller account is an additional 39 bucks a month. If you have a warehouse in California,, the state is sending HUGE tax bills. Also California has restrictions on items.. California Energy Commission (CEC). Sellers of these products must also register them in the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database (MAEDBS)... CEC registration requirements for lighting products, pool products and portable spa products, portable air conditioners, computers, and monitors. Amazon is full of pitfalls and red tape.. Expect your first 2 or 3 months to be restricted and have funds withheld. Ebay is probably the place to be right now.

Do you still sell on bonanza ??????
@roberttuttle5982 жыл бұрын
1)Amazon - High comp as well 2) Your own store - higher out of pocket and learning curve for marketing 3) Walmart - Harder to get into the program for individual sellers 4) Bonanza - Good alternative, a lot less traffic and eyes on your products. 5) FB MP - Good traffic, ease of access but I feel people are not viewing it as a marketplace as much as they may the other alternatives 6) Wayfair, seems very specific. I don't like some of the changes ebay has made and continues to but it is hard to beat for traffic, low barrier to entry marketplace.

You spend more money doing e-commerce on your own and you don't get much traffic. It's good to start on other platforms first as you mentioned. But I wouldn't recommend Etsy. Too many scam artists!

from the research I've done, Amazon is hard to get 'ungated' to sell at all.

I am very surprised that this video did not mention Amazon's return policy. This is a huge difference between Amazon and other platform....in a negative way.

I have been buying from eBay for almost 20 years However the quality of items sold were not the quality like before, So sad. The last few years were truly disappointing.
