   Hey there!

   Your avatar looks sad. I hope that you have a great year in 2009, and change that to a smile =).

   The truth is, yes, you can make money on both places. eBay is a little bit better for most things, but you can use amazon.com to sell stuff as well. It all depends on what you want to sell.

   On ebay and amazon, you generally end up giving them about a 12-15% cut. So you sell something for $100, and they take about $10-15. That is the only downside to it. However, there are lots of people on there, and you can usually sell it fairly easily if you price it well.

   To get an idea of how much you can get out of the items you are selling, go to ebay.com, login, and click the “advanced search” link. Then type in the keywords, and check the “completed items” box. You can then search and see (in green bold) the final selling prices of the keyword (example: ipod) that you typed in. That way you can get an idea of how much the stuff is selling on there.

   General books don’t do so well usually, but again, check them out. School books do the best, and you can usually make most of your money back on those. general electronics (ipods, cameras, etc.) do pretty well also.

   A free alternative is the Craigslist.com site, which is best if you live in a larger city. But that is up to you.

   If you need any help on eBay or have a question, I know all about it and have been a powerseller for a long time. You can ask me through my blog below.

   Good luck, and happy New Year!
