Default eBay vs Amazon

I have had enough of eBay and am now looking into Amazon

I was wondering if anyone could quickly tell me what fees i would be looking at here?

Obviously eBay you have your listing fees, final value fees, paypal fees, breathing and living fees!!

what does Amazon do?

Thanks

Well off the top of my head it's 9% for electronics and 17% for everything else.

The costs are much higher than ebay, but you can also sell your goods for more.

I have a source for Apple Macbooks at a reasonable price. Was able to get a higher margin on Amazon even with the higher charges

No. You only pay when it sells.
