Ebay Suspended, Life in the Amazon Jungle

    EBAY SUSPENDED, Life in the Amazon Jungle


    Let us visit the legendary Amazon.  No not the jungle, but the mega site.
    We have left Ebay. We need some place to visit until we find
a home or at least a cool apartment with ultra low rent to set up shop.  How about
a quick stop at Amazon?  It is Ebay’s number one competitor. It is gigantic
and depending on what you sell it is a good place to visit.
    Amazon sellers are subject to sales metrics.  This would not be bad if
they gave out automatic feedbacks after a month or two from buyers who just
do not feel like it matters and to them it does not, but to someone who needs to
maintain a high metric it means a great deal.  You can have your
money frozen and booted from the site for not maintaining that 97 plus rating.
Which means you can sell 80 items, get 48 feedbacks that are thumbs up 2 that
are thumbs down and 30 non feedbacks and you have fallen below the metric
and you can get hammered by a buyer for any reason.  That is the one thing that
Ebay and Amazon have in common. 
    This answers why so many people sell books for 1 cent.  Just trying to
maintain that metric so that they can sell the big stuff.  It is a place to visit.  You
can earn some money there and you can use it as a platform to market yourself.
We will get into the marketing of ourselves later. 
    Back to the subject. The best item to sell on this site is books.  Be it
actual books or Ebooks that you write.  Which Amazon will be more than happy to
help you sell if they are good and become popular. Ebooks, writing them and
marketing them are another subject and you can find a ton of information about
that on Youtube.  What ever is your niche market you will find a place for it
there. 
    What I am saying is that Amazon is a place to visit.  Look at it as a
gas station.  Refill your tanks.  Check the tires.  Buy some over priced chips
and get back on the road.  There are a few towns down the road and we are
going to find a home for you in one of them. 
    Good.  I see a sign post.
    It says Ebay? 
    No, god no.  That can not be right.
    It says Ebid.
    Ebid?
    Let’s pay a visit.
