eBay vs Amazon Fees UK
Open eBay business, Amazon FBM and Amazon FBA together. Keep price and cost identical. Change only FBA fulfilment and return rate. Private eBay listings also shift buyer checkout via the eBay buyer protection fee calculator UK — seller take-home stays separate.
Worked example
Same £45 / £14 SKU: eBay business often beats Amazon FBA once fulfilment is £4–£6 — until Amazon conversion justifies the cut.
