In the Books category, you need Amazon's approval to list items as "collectible. Per Amazon's Condition Guidelines , it is prohibited to sell if "Item is missing essential accompanying material or parts. This does not necessarily include instructions.
For example, these two "Vogue" magazines from have healthy asking prices: Vintage catalogues can also do very well. But although earlier this year Amazon dipped its toe further into the Collectibles market with its launch of a Sports Collectibles Store , eBay is still the pound-gorilla in the collectibles world. My question for you is, what vintage items do you sell on Amazon? Or do you stay away from vintage stuff entirely there? If you do sell vintage stuff on there, what things might sell even better on there than on eBay?
And what do you think is still solidly in eBay's domain, and not likely to go anywhere anytime soon? Post a comment here! Tweet Share. Comments 10 Permalink. Mon Sep 3 You don't need Amazon's approval to sell used 'collectible' toys now, it's only beginning in November.
And amazon's approval only applies if you're self-fulfilling orders, they don't have the restrictions at any time if you're an FBA merchant however, your seller performance needs to be in good standing.
Tue Sep 4 Hi Jordan, Thanks for the info.. Also it is true the holiday Toys restriction does not apply to FBA merchandise as long as you meet the seller performance criteria. And yes, the ''Toys'' approval window for holiday selling starts Nov.
Thanks again for your input! I only sell new items on Amazon. I sell new and vintage on Etsy. And, of course, I have it all on my website. Hi JoJo.. In terms of games, I feel a lot better about selling new games on Amazon, because used games run such as big risk of parts missing. Etsy is the way to go Several years ago I thought about listing antiques and vintage items on Amazon but at that time it was not "antique" friendly. Ebay was my first choice for years but now I list on Etsy and Bonanza, very little on ebay anymore.
New and vintage on Etsy sell well. I'd have to say it's kind of a toss up for me as to which one does better. There are plenty of sites to choose from, but the biggest by far are Amazon and eBay. The question is, which one is better? To answer that question, you have to consider three main factors. If it is, you have to consider how much work it takes and how much it costs. To choose between Amazon and eBay, the first thing you need to know is what kind of items you can list for sale on each site.
Amazon currently has over 30 categories of goods for sale, but only some of these are open to all sellers. In general, Amazon is more oriented toward selling new products than used ones. The site accepts used goods, but only in certain categories.
You can also sell certified refurbished devices in some categories, but they have to meet the requirements for the Amazon Renewed program. In addition to these, there are several categories available only to sellers who have a Professional account.
These include automotive parts and tools, business products, collectible coins, jewelry, fine art, foodstuffs of any kind, industrial and scientific equipment, luggage and travel accessories, computers, professional services, sports collectibles, video recordings, and watches.
In many cases, you need approval from Amazon to list items in these categories. The Amazon seller page has additional details. To sell through this program, you must complete an application online, which is separate from the registration process for an Individual or Professional account.
EBay started as an online auction site where people could sell their unwanted goods to the highest bidder. Thus, the site has always been more open to secondhand goods than Amazon. In general, you can sell pretty much anything on eBay, either new or used. Some are banned for safety reasons, others to comply with local laws. For a complete list of banned and restricted items, or to see more details about any particular item, visit the eBay Customer Service site.
To sell items on either Amazon or eBay, you have to follow the same basic steps: set up an account, then list your items for sale, and finally ship them out to buyers.
The site for setting up an Amazon sales account is called Seller Central. The process has five steps:. All you need to sell goods on eBay is a basic eBay account. The site also gives you the option of setting up an account for a business. However, if all you want to do is sell your unwanted stuff, a personal account is a better choice. If you have a Professional account, you can list items on Amazon in large batches.
Otherwise, you must list them one at a time. You can find the UPC for most items on the original product package. If you no longer have the package, you must either contact the manufacturer to get the code or apply to Amazon for a new one. These include:. It includes such extra features as a visitor counter, which lets you see how many people have viewed a listing, and lots, which allow you to sell multiple items to one buyer with just one listing.
However, using some of these features costs an extra fee. After you create your listing, the site will ask you to confirm your details and add an automatic payment method to cover your eBay fees.
You can use a credit card, PayPal, or direct debit from your bank account. The site may also ask you to verify your identity to keep your accounts secure. You can do this by providing a telephone or credit card number.
When someone buys your product, Amazon sends you an email to let you know, and you ship the product to the buyer. If you plan to sell a whole lot of products on the site, you can use Fulfillment by Amazon FBA to let the company store and ship your products for you.
