Pricing: eBay, Amazon, and a website

Happy Friday! I know a lot of you all are out gigging tonight but I thought I would add a quick post. I’ve noticed lately a lot of questions about our pricing on our website versus eBay and Amazon. Some sellers will offer lower prices on their website to offset the fees (12% for eBay) for selling on these large marketplaces. Here at Jax, we do not adjust our prices for these costs. We try to keep a consistent pricing model across all marketplaces.

For Jax, the big difference on many of our products is due to shipping being “free” on our eBay listings and Amazon versus a calculated shipping model on our website. Of course, there is no true free shipping. The cost has to be made up somewhere so it is included in our prices when on Ebay and Amazon. Ebay gives preference to those listing with Free Shipping so that is our default shipping model for eBay. On our website, we want to be able to show the lowest prices possible and our customers are given the choice of how to ship their items. What do you all think? Should we offer free shipping (included in the price on our website) as we do on Amazon and Ebay?
