Buy me and I'll be coming home with you tonight. 18/04/2008

Advantages Easy to use, easy to follow instructions, clears the clutter
Disadvantages Some of the fee's are high

During my student days, I spent many hours on Amazon buying all of the books I needed for my course because the prices that I got offered through this website were much cheaper than my local bookstore or any high street retailer. It wasn't until a few months ago that I rediscovered all of these books and was debating whether to take them for recycling when I came across the Marketplace on the Amazon website. For those people who are not aware, Amazon.co.uk is one of the biggest online stores and they offer everything from books and DVDs to computer games and more recently jewellery and shoes ... more

Advantages Earns money for your unwanted items

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is Amazon? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amazon.co.uk is a website where you purchase literally anything. Amazon.co.uk has been around in the UK since 1998 and it started off a website mainly for selling PC & Video Games, Books, DVD's and similar items, now it still stocks all those items but now have expanded its items to Health & Beauty, Clothes, Shoes, Electrical Equipment, you name it, Amazon probably has it.

Amazon.co.uk/Marketplace ------------------------------------ Amazon.co.uk has been around in the UK since 1998, (hard to believe it is only 7 years!!) and is one of the world's biggest online stores. In my regular dealings with them, Amazon are a company which consistently offers good customer service and good value for money. It is perhaps lesser known that Amazon.co.uk also has a very active Market Place division, in which both individual members of the public, and even other organisations selling books can register as a trader and market their wares. Selling ---------- There are a number ... more

Advantages Huge market, guaranteed payment, make some money from your attic
Disadvantages Very high fees

I’m sure we have all heard of Amazon, one of the best known on-line businesses in the world, but what is Amazon Marketplace, and why should we use it? Basically, Amazon Marketplace is an integrated part of the Amazon site, which sells new and secondhand goods through third parties. These third parties can be companies or just ‘normal’ sellers like me and you. Amazon Marketplace, actually sells the same goods as Amazon, and often at lower prices, but Amazon make their money from these sales by charging high fees. •• Buying •• When you browse around Amazon, you can be looking in the Marketplace ... more

Advantages Fantastic service, easy to use, fees are not too high in my opinion
Disadvantages NA

Amazon Marketplace, is, in my opinion, Amazon's answer to eBay. Amazon Marketplace,is convenience, and the more better choice for those who do not want to be charged the fee's you need to on eBay - trust me, that is why I completely avoided eBay. I am able to fully review Amazon Marketplace, as I have been on the opposite ends of the spectrum- that being both a buyer, and a seller. Buying with Amazon Marketplace Buying with Amazon Marketplace is as easy as 1,2,3. To begin your buying process, you need to be logged into your Amazon account.If you do not have one, signing up is easy, and free ... more
