Hi All
Just looking for opinions. Earlier this year I had stop selling on Amazon & ebay due to issues beyond my control. I am now embarking on getting 1000s of books back online. I recently posted on here that Amazon appear to be hiding new copies of books from view if they themselves or a seller fulfilled prime member is selling the same book new.
When you look at the top of a listing it might say 8 NEW & USED from £12 for example. But when you click on it only shows you used conditions. If you then click CLEAR FILTER new are then shown. Or if you click on FILTER you see that all the check boxes for used conditions are checked, but if you then check NEW you see other new copies. However if you scroll further down the page & click on SEE OTHER COPIES then you see them all including NEW because no tick boxes have been pre checked.
It seems like they're hiding them for sure. If you factor in Amazon being cheaper & still hogging the Buy Box even if they're not the cheapest I am now wondering if my inventory should be directed to ebay. The problem here is that the site seems to be becoming more DEAD! every day.
So it's a toss up between listing on a site that gets far more traffic but tactically hides your inventory or putting them on ebay whereby if you're the cheapest you will get the sale but then it's whether enough shoppers will still visit ebay.
What would you do?
TIA
