Amazon is a comprehensive shopping website, including various types of goods, such as books, home appliances, clothing, etc.

Different business models: eBay uses a C2C (consumer-to-consumer) model, where users can conduct transactions directly; while Amazon uses a B2C (business-to-consumer) model, where sellers sell goods directly to consumers.

Different payment methods: eBay supports PayPal payment, and users can use the PayPal account to pay. Amazon supports a variety of payment methods, such as credit cards, debit cards, Amazon gift cards, etc.

Different logistics services: eBay sellers need to be responsible for logistics delivery by themselves, while Amazon provides self-operated logistics services. Sellers only need to send goods to Amazon warehouses, and Amazon will be responsible for subsequent delivery.

After-sales services are different: eBay’s after-sales services are borne by the seller. Buyers can return and exchange goods after receiving the goods.

Amazon has a unified after-sales services policy. For example, Amazon’s self-operated products enjoy Amazon’s after-sales services, and third-party sellers are responsible for after-sales services.

The reputation evaluation system is different: eBay’s reputation evaluation system mainly includes buyer evaluation, seller reputation level, etc., while Amazon’s reputation evaluation system includes seller evaluation, product evaluation, etc.
