Amazon "Make An Offer" - new way to buy
Amazon Unveils ‘Make an Offer’ for Customers to Negotiate Lower Prices

Categories currently shown at www.amazon.com/makeanoffer: Advertising, Collectible Coins, Entertainment, Fine Art, Historical & Political, and Sports. More will be added soon.

Quote:
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2014-- Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced the ‘Make an Offer’ experience that allows customers to negotiate even lower prices on thousands of items. Expanding on Amazon’s traditional fixed price model, the new pricing feature allows customers to offer to buy items at even lower prices. If agreed upon, customers can then purchase the items at a savings from the listed price. To start, more than 150,000 items from sellers on Amazon are enabled with the ‘Make an Offer’ experience across Sports and Entertainment Collectibles, Collectible Coins and Fine Art. The new feature will expand to hundreds of thousands of items from sellers in 2015. Customers can browse ‘Make an Offer’ eligible items at www.amazon.com/makeanoffer.

Wow. This is big. And it does indeed look like Amazon going after eBay. At least, it's going after the "buy it now/make an offer" part of eBay. Which is probably a large percentage of eBay.

Good. It's about time that eBay, which supplies zero goods but is trying to be an Amazon clone by imposing ridiculous terms and conditions on its sellers, gets a wake up call. Hopefully Amazon will soon open auctions for these categories to provide a rational marketplace for independent sellers of antiques and collectibles.

What terms and conditions are you referring to, Joe? I'm quite an active eBay seller, and have never encountered anything I'd regard as ridiculous.

Same here. My only complaint is that it's not tough to earn the "Above Standard" seller rating, but it appears to be nearly impossible to achieve "Top Rated" status without having a pretty-much dedicated business (100 items sold and $1000/year).
