eBay has a low threshold, and most people can do it

Amazon's threshold is relatively much higher. To open a business account on Amazon in the United States, you need to register a US company and provide a tax number (the risk is to choose a good agent, and there are cases where Shenzhen foreign trade e-commerce companies were defrauded of huge sums of money)

eBay's user interface vs. Amazon's user interface

The user interface styles of these two e-commerce platforms are completely different. Amazon's user interface is simple but elegant, while eBay's user interface gives people the feeling that you are always ready to shop, making you always want to buy something. Products are everywhere on the web page, and advertisements are constantly presented.

eBay's prices vs. Amazon's prices

In fact, the market positioning of these two online platforms is completely different. Amazon's product prices always seem to be a little higher than eBay's, and eBay buyers have different preferences from Amazon buyers.

Amazon is known for its authenticity guarantee, but this does not mean that eBay's products are not authentic. On the other hand, buyers on eBay are more concerned with how much they spend rather than convenience and quality. In addition, buyers on eBay are more concerned with the uniqueness of the items they buy.

Seller Comparison on the Platforms

For sellers, Amazon’s website displays a list of all sellers in a scrolling format, while eBay is the opposite. The list of popular sellers is pinned to the top of the page, while new sellers are hard to find. In this way, it seems that Amazon has a slight advantage because it provides a fair chance to all sellers.

Growth Rate

In recent times, Amazon has far surpassed eBay in terms of sales volume and overall development. This is obvious because Amazon has grown into a company and now, it is not only an e-commerce platform but also produces a variety of products such as Fire TV and Kindle. On the other hand, eBay has remained stagnant and is still a traditional customer-centric e-commerce website.
