Online Marketplaces: Comparing Esalez.net to Amazon and eBay

Esalez.net is a new and fast-growing online marketplace that seeks to connect buyers with appropriate sellers around the world. Since its inception in 2019, Esalez.net has continuously grown its network of sellers, creating an intuitive place to shop online for consumers.

Online marketplaces can make it easier for sellers who don’t know how to sell products online. Working with the best online marketplace for your needs can make taking your business online a lot easier.

With the majority of online buyers and sellers using the marketplaces Amazon and Ebay, is it worth it to try something new like Esalez.net? Let’s take a look at the different platforms and compare their features and how their experience is for users, and see which is the best online marketplace for each type of user.

Taking a Look At Esalez.net



Esalez.net started in 2019 with the goal of connecting buyers and sellers worldwide with an easy-to-use platform. Esalez noticed that a lot of the online marketplaces that already existed either don’t meet all of the needs of buyers and sellers or can be difficult to use. The platform wants to become the best online marketplace for sellers looking to grow online sales and profit.

The platform started in Anaheim, California, but was created with the vision of a global online marketplace. It is an accredited business according to the Better Business Bureau, and its secure checkout utilizes both Paypal and Amazon Pay.

Esalez finds strength in its all-inclusive solution for sellers, which is packed with intuitive features that sellers will love. This makes the platform interesting for sellers who are looking to get started online, or that want to branch out from the status quo and try different online marketplaces.

Esalez.net has also made an effort to help businesses and consumers during the coronavirus outbreak. There is a specific section on their website tailored to coronavirus supplies, which is a unique way to help consumers who are mostly shopping online during this unprecedented time.

The problem with Esalez.net is that it is a smaller platform and not a lot of consumers know about it yet. This can lead to less confidence for consumers looking to make a purchase on the platform. This can be solved in the future as Esalez.net grows into a more popular, and more well known, online marketplace.

The platform is safe to use, and it seems that they make more of an effort to give sellers a stress-free experience. As more sellers try out the platform and get used to its helpful features, you can expect more buyers to start using it.

Taking a Look At eBay



eBay is a tried and true online marketplace that became popular for its auctions feature as well as consumer-to-consumer sales. For years, online merchants have been using the platform as a sales channel.

While the online retail space has been dominated by Amazon during the last few years, eBay has managed to remain relevant. eBay hosts a large selection of items, strong search features, and an interface that can be easily understood by many people.

EBay is naturally a capitalistic site. The items that are listed for sale on the marketplace are sold to consumers for the most that someone is willing to pay for them. This is in part due to Ebay's auction and highest offer features.

EBay does have a bad reputation for how their platform is set up for sellers. This is mainly due to how stressful their feedback system can be to sellers. There are also a number of negative complaints geared toward Ebay’s customer support center and how they deal with seller issues.

On the other hand, eBay could be the best online marketplace for buyers. On the overwhelming majority of disputes, eBay will side with the buyers. While this makes the platform stress-free for buyers, it can often make selling items on the platform a headache.

Taking a Look At Amazon



Amazon is the most popular ecommerce platform out of the three. They are known for their low prices over a large selection of items. Amazon has quickly grown to be one of the most valuable companies in the world through its success in ecommerce and other business segments.

The platform is also known for its popular Prime subscription service, which provides members with many benefits. Some of the benefits include fast free shipping, Prime Video, Amazon Everyday, Prime Pantry, among other things. There are now over 100 million Prime members globally.

While Amazon is a very successful business, the platform isn’t made for everyone. Selling products on Amazon helps provide a large audience to immediately broadcast your products, but there are many problems that make it difficult to sell things on Amazon.

Amazon is greedy. They are known for taking a large portion of the profit from sales, and the consumer demand for their free delivery further eats into profit margins. This can make it difficult and sometimes impossible for sellers that already have a low profit margin to begin with.

Another issue with selling on Amazon is that Amazon owns the customer relationship that occurs from any purchases. People using the platform are Amazon customers, rather than customers of a sellers business.

The Bottom Line



While each of the online marketplaces we have gone over has their own issues, it can be helpful in the long run if a seller can look past those issues. Having your product selling in as many different sales channels as you can improve the volume in sales and help drive in more profit.

While Esalez.net is the least known platform out of the three, there are benefits to joining it as a seller. As the platform grows in the future, so will your sales on it. If you are a seller who doesn’t know how to sell products online, Esalez.net could be right for you since their platform is very seller-friendly.

The platform is also accredited by the Better Business Bureau, so you can breathe easy signing up to sell on it. At the end of the day, you really do not have much to lose by signing up for a new online marketplace.

What makes Esalez.net unique is that there is no cost for registering. Unlike most sites, Esalez.net does not charge any additional fees. Esalez only charges 10% on sales. Other sites, such as Amazon and Ebay charge higher promotional fees and many other fees.
