> I hate selling on Amazon.
Then don't do it.
> Ebay fees are 11%, Amazon fees are 40-50%.
Bullshit. Look up their fees, they're nowhere near that much. You're making shit up.
> I've seen a seller almost cry watching amazon take over $140 in fees out of a $300 transaction.
If a loss of $140 is making him cry, I strongly recommend you encourage him to meet with a personal financial advisor, or have him seek the mental health resources he needs. No person of sound mind/finances should be broken by a loss of a few hundred bucks.
> And ruetinely take 50% of gross receipts. Yes this is normal.
Again, you're fabricating data.
> Sellers have started canceling large transactions and directing their buyers to the same product listing on etsy, ebay, or their own store.
I've bought and sold hundreds of items via Amazon used items and have never experienced this. You can't sell handmade items from Etsy on Amazon either. (Etsy is for handmade items only)
> Don't get me started on the inability to control shipping rates like every other marketplace.
The only valid complaint, though it actually works out well when you're buying.
