I have considered eBay once but didn’t really pursue the idea. The reason is that I don’t have a lot of stuff to sell and the auction style of eBay really requires some time in managing the listing. As you said, if the product is hot and there are many bidders, then there’s a good chance to make a decent profit. For me, I just want it to be simple and Amazon gives me exactly that. If I have a lot of stuff to sell, then eBay will be a better choice. Besides, the commission Amazon.com charges is quite high.

I’ve sold on Amazon’s Marketplace once…and it was a pleasant experience, but I think it’s worthwhile to check eBay for the current auction prices and bid counts for items similar to the one you’re selling…sometimes the you’ll get quite a bit more for your item if there are a lot of people bidding on them. I also recommend Half.com, which is owned by eBay; however, it is generally for media sales/purchases (books, music, video games, etc)…in other words, no electronics.
