Common questions
Does Amazon or eBay charge less?
It depends on category and plan. This model compares a common Amazon 15% Individual-plan scenario with eBay’s most-categories baseline.
Does this include Amazon FBA?
No. FBA fulfillment, storage, aged inventory, returns, and optional advertising are separate and can materially change profit.
