eBay have ridiculously restrictive seller limits. I could probably be doing 5+ times the sales volume that I do now if I could list as much as I wanted to. I understand being cautious with new sellers but I don't see the logic of drip feeding sellers more limit after they have say 500 feedback that is all or close to all positive.
Amazon take 15% but let you list as much inventory as you want, they will likely restrict your account until some feedback comes in but after a few weeks this is lifted.
So amazon makes way more money off us and is a lot easier to manage. One of eBays problems I guess is that in some ways they are still rooted in the traditional model of small personal sellers and don't support big sellers that well.

- robryan 14y agoI don't think eBay is really the best place for small sellers anymore either, they are kind of in between both models and not a leader in either.
