eBay vs. Amazon Poll Results Are In
Ouch! eBay actually took a big ass thumping! At first I thought there would be some that would just vote against eBay because they could have been disgruntled. So let me give you a little background on how I came up with a plan on how to roll the poll out and get results that I felt were usable.
Sure, I have over 18,000 followers on Twitter and 1,000 between Facebook and LinkedIn, but not everyone is going to respond to things you tweet or post. So I used a rolling release across the 3 platforms and then posted it on the blog. What happened was rather interesting.
Twitter had the lowest ROP (return on a post) while Facebook more than doubled Twitter in respondents. My followers in Twitter are mostly eCommerce or eBay sellers, while Facebook is made up of people from all walks and backgrounds. You can use that data and come up with your own conclusions.
However across all platforms the resulting votes were overwhelmingly in favor of Amazon won in a 3 to 1 margin. The final results was Amazon 71% vs. eBay 29%. Now, lets put these into perspective because the sample group was small, but I believe it was diverse enough to declare Amazon and clear winner by over whelming majority vote.
Having all things equal, when respondents were given the same item found on eBay vs. Amazon, 71% said they would buy from Amazon over eBay! What does that say to me? It says that eBay is very challenged with any attempt to compete with Amazon on a level playing field. I believe eBay KNOWS this and really is not as naive as some pundants think about its positioning.
My thought is that eBay is NOT trying to "be" Amazon. However eBay does recognize…….Aw screw it, I am tired of typing….Watch the VIDEO
