Comments on: Who will have the most traffic – eBay or Amazon? http://tamebay.com/2008/10/who-will-have-the-most-traffic-ebay-or-amazon.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:13:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Uncle Sam http://tamebay.com/2008/10/who-will-have-the-most-traffic-ebay-or-amazon.html#comment-41885 Uncle Sam Tue, 04 Nov 2008 09:29:36 +0000 http://www.tamebay.com/?p=4947#comment-41885 My moneys' on amazon.co.uk getting the most traffic in December, due to their lowering of free postage to orders over £5 while eBay aren't capping postage until January. Also, it seems more buyers are getting the message that Amazon don't just sell books & CD's. I prefer selling on Amazon because it's much less hassle - list your items once & just keep an eye on prices & stock levels. And with our inventory, we can compete at a higher price than on eBay. However, eBay are still getting higher year-round traffic & for us, a higher rate of sales.

Similarly I believe only people with UK bank accounts can sell on amazon.co.uk. If anyone knows differently please post below.

We have just down graded our shop due to lack of sales and traffic. Awful traffic for this time of year. Last year we were booming! Sign of the times? Amazon without a doubt.
