[quote name='sp00ge']I've been selling on Amazon for a few years, and just this year I started doing it as my full time job.
Versus eBay, listing is a cakewalk. Fees can vary, depending on the item, but before you finalize your listing, Amazon tells you exactly how much you will get after they take their cut. My only gripe is the set shipping costs. Some stuff is way under (and yo run the risk of actually losing money if you don't research) while other stuff is way over what it actually costs (and is a money maker).
As far as getting scammed, out of about four thousand sales this year alone, I've had maybe 5 or 6 people claim the item never arrived, was broken, etc. I've had even fewer people request to return things they bought. And (*knocks on wood*) I've never had a single chargeback.
As far as Amazon automatically siding with the buyer, that's not 100% true. If there is a problem and the seller shows no intention of alleviating the situation, that's an automatic buyer win. But if you are proactive and work with the buyer, and the buyer doesn't want to cooperate, odds are in your favor of winning a dispute.[/QUOTE]
Kudos to you for being able to sell stuff full time. I would love to do that, but it's hard enough finding what little stuff I sell to begin with.
As for selling stuff on Amazon, my experience has been really positive. I've sold about $3000 worth of merchandise over the past year on Amazon and haven't had a single serious issue. I think the fees of eBay/PayPal just about even out with Amazon, especially considering that once you list something on Amazon, it's up for good.
Generally I've found you can sell stuff on Amazon for a bit more than it'd go for on eBay. It's hard for me to judge if it'd be worth it for you, because a lot of the stuff I sell, I bought specifically to resell. My biggest complaint with Amazon is that I can't sell some items this time of years (Toys mostly) unless I have it fulfilled by Amazon.
