I would imagine the silence suggests nobody here is either selling on Amazon or is unwilling to admit it. I've just had a look at their fees structure and I can't say I'm surprised.

It is listings at fixed prices, not auctions. So I can't really see it as a competitor to ebay's declared main business.

I did try selling on Amazon last year but all I got was 100's of scammers emailing me I suppose that's because I only deal in high end electronics such as mobile phones though.

I sell on there. Mixed results and the fee's are a killer as mentioned earlier.

I am looking into their fulfillment services for a new product I'm launching in the new year.

I've never paid them any attention. I knew of course they had their own excellent fulfillment system but did not know they offered it to others. That's interesting, I'll pass it along.

Because the blister packaging is small the costs are worthwhile as you pay for space. They can sell it, send it and deposit the money in my account bi weekly.

And you can't even set your own shipping fee's. I used to sell games on there and it was ok but I gave up due to getting better results from eBay.
