Yes, that is an important distinction. I'll give @[Shelly Palmer](user:4838) another example to further that argument. I used to work at on online store and we also sold items on #eBay and #Amazon to get access to their millions of customers, just as app maker sell their apps on #Apple and Google's app stores. But we charged a little more on Amazon/eBay to cover the higher fees. Customers knew they could always buy them directly at our site for a bit less.

But Amazon and Ebay never said we were forbidden to sell items for less on our own site. That would be completely unfair in my mind. And it seems like there is some collusion between Apple and Google if this is their policy.

#Ebay and #Amazon need to do more to stop those engaging in price gouging for hard to find PPE products. When hand sanitizer is $70 a bottle, something is wrong! $EBAY $AMZN.

I agree. eBay had a marketplace years earlier. But like most things, Amazon did it better. I shop on Amazon almost daily. I can't remember the last time I used eBay. #ebay #amazon $ebay $amzn

I was an early supporter in #ebay. But I've lost faith in the company. They've given up to much ground to #Amazon and will never recover. $EBAY $AMZN.

Unethical... sure. But illegal? How is it illegal that #Amazon exploited some weaknesses in the #eBay system? Violating a website's terms of use is grounds for being suspended or kicked off that site, but you can't go to jail for it. How can eBay claim this is illegal behavior? $AMZN $EBAY

The change won't take affect until 2020. In the grand scheme of things these days, that's a long time away. By then #bitcoin could be the preferred method of payment for ebay purchases. $EBAY $PYPL #BITCOMP

I was initially surprised to hear that #eBay would no longer be using #PayPal as it's payment processor. But you've made an eloquent case showing that this will not be have a critical impact. My outlooks has shifted from planning to sell my shares, to buying more now that the price has dropped due to panicked shareholders. $EBAY $PYPL

I've always liked #Ebay! $ebay

At least I still don't have to pay sales tax on $EBAY! That gives them an advantage over $AMZN in my book.

I couldn't agree with this article more. #eBay has always been underated, overshadowed by #Amazon's success. But ebay isn't going anywhere. It's still the best place to go if you need to sell an item, and far safer than a place like Craig's list. $EBAY $AMZN
