eCommerce Stock Pair Trade: Amazon vs. eBay

If it weren't for the rare and unusual cool things on ebay...I wouldn't even go there. To me amazon is just a reference tool..I don't really care for the user interface operation they have... I hardly ever buy from amazon since there isn't much that interests me. It does seem that buy it now stuff is lame since, like I'll say again: being part of a REAL AUCTION is part of the FUN of it..it seems like one's somewhat in control of it. Both sites need to get a handle on shipping costs for buyers..thats a MAJOR TURNOFF and page shutter... It shouldn't take a beginner 6 months to figure out how to sell in ebay..I still haven't sold a thing...

EBay: The Doldrum Years

Correction: I meant to say 'sellers' are just wanting to earn money on those fees by themselves.

sorry, TRY

EBay: The Doldrum Years

Ebay has gotten really complex for sellers as well, everytime you turn around it seems they are changing their fee structure..
Can't they just stick with 'SIMPLE' for awhile..
It also seems that shipping/handling fees are out of control and look like an immediate turn off to alot of buyers, they sure are to me, its as if buyers are just wanting to earn money on those fees by themselves.
(yeah..everyone knows about higher fuel costs but 4 bucks for a 1-2 lb. package seems like alot for bargain hunters)
They must have hundreds of MBAs looking into how to turn this mess around..somehow they need to cut costs substantially to bring the masses back into buying(simple is better) if you ask me..
