Is it worth selling on Ebay or Amazon
Recently I've been considering whether Ebay or Amazon are actually worth it. For the purposes of analysis, I worked a quick way of measuring the percentage of customers that come back and buy direct from me after having found us on Ebay or Amazon.
I wrote up a specific tutorial for Netsuite users on how to do this:

My results were not good. Just 1.4%. I wrote up another article discussing whether it was actually worth continuing selling on these channels:

In short, they charge high fees, are a pain to administrate and don't seem to send many repeat customers, nor customers who Google you directly after having seen you.
