main entity: Which platform is cheaper for buying: Amazon or eBay?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: eBay is typically cheaper for used items and collectibles due to auction competition driving prices down (often 30-50% below retail). Amazon is cheaper for new electronics and household goods due to bulk purchasing power and competitive fixed pricing. For identical new items, prices are usually within 5-10% of each other.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which is safer for buyers: Amazon or eBay?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Amazon has lower fraud rates (2-3% vs eBay's 6-8%) due to stricter seller verification and FBA fulfillment. Amazon's A-to-Z Guarantee is more buyer-friendly with faster refunds (typically 5-7 days vs eBay's 10-14 days). However, eBay's Money Back Guarantee is equally comprehensive at 180 days. Amazon is safer for first-time online shoppers.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which platform should I sell on as a new seller?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: eBay is better for new sellers in niche categories (vintage, collectibles) due to lower fees (12.9% vs 15%), more lenient policies, and a buyer base actively seeking used/rare goods. Amazon is better for new sellers of new products with sufficient inventory, as FBA handles logistics but requires storage fees (up to $15/unit/month).
    language: en-US
main entity: How do shipping times compare realistically?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Amazon Prime members get 1-2 day shipping on ~100M items; most other items ship in 3-5 days. eBay's average is 5-7 days depending on seller location and handling time (typically 1-3 business days). About 78% of Amazon shipments arrive on time vs 65% on eBay (based on 2024 carrier data).
    language: en-US
main entity: Can I find the same products on both platforms?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Overlapping products exist in electronics and household goods (~40% overlap in core categories), but prices and sellers differ. eBay excels in unique/vintage items (80% exclusive listings in collectibles), while Amazon dominates new merchandise. For brand-new products, Amazon typically has better selection and availability.
