I have a Pro Merchant account on Amazon. I pay $39.99 per month for that. It's worth it, because without it, you can't get the Buy Box, and you really want to have that.

It amazes me that with the buy box I can have competing sellers with lower price + shipping, and I still get the sale.

I don't know what the fees are outside of my categories, but overall, it doesn't seem to be much more than what Ebay+Paypal fees are. It's a little higher, but you can charger higher prices as well.

It's a totally different buyer dynamic, or at least that has been my experience.

From a seller perspective, I would 10,000,000% rather sell on Amazon than screw around with Ebay.

That said, I emply the CYA method on Ebay, and have never lost a dispute. Knock on wood.
