EBAY Vs. AMZN Auctions... a seller's perspective

so far I have found that the space alloted for the title
(the number of characters) for Amazon is very helpful... it's a pain that Ebay has a very limited amount

HOWEVER EBAY is much more HTML friendly than AMZN...

AMZN would not accept this HTML
cgi.ebay.com

So I made it simple
auctions.amazon.com

Ironic that the AMZN auction has a bid and EBAY doesn't

Cheers,

You can already sell or buy a house or car on eBay.

Use the Search function and you will be surprised at the number of Mercedes and BMWs for sale.

By the way, I sold my house last year via a classified ad on Yahoo. (It brought two prospects in the door, and one of them ended up buying!)

I saved more than $20K in real estate commissions, and split the difference with the buyer.
