Selling Online Very interesting story, with a lot of detail, over at The Wall Street Journal Online. It's all about how Ebay's dominant position in online selling may be eroding, and how Yahoo and Amazon are trying to woo sellers.

Here's an a quote that got my attention:

"EBay shoppers are "looking for unreasonable bargains," Mr. Hawksley says.

Mr. Hawksley says he made more profit in four months on Amazon than in four years on eBay. Merchants and analysts, such as ComScore Networks Inc., say prices are higher on Amazon because it attracts wealthier shoppers."

And this:

"Mr. Hawksley found he could sell DVDs of TV shows such as "Dragnet" or "Adam 12" for $35 on Amazon, where he can set his own price, compared with eBay, where he found consumers unwilling to pay more than $10."

In theory, you could buy on Ebay to sell on Amazon.  ¶ 6:04 p.m.
