Where should I sell?

This is one of the first questions I'm usually asked by friends or acquaintances:
"Where should I sell?"

There  are a few different online marketplace, but the most popular ones are:
They are probably only expecting me to answer either the first or second, and usually that will be my response.

If they are selling products from their home to make a few dollars, I'd say go with eBay. But if they are looking to build up a part-time online business, start with Amazon.

If it's an item with huge competition and you can't compete with Amazon's prices, try Buy.com. Usually you'd be able to move it there with a higher profit margin than Amazon, as there isn't the "race to the bottom" on Buy that there is elsewhere.
