There will be fees wherever you sell. And if there aren't monetary fees, there are costs involved- even listing items on craigslist requires an investment in your time and effort to meet someone who may or may not show up at the designated meeting place.
The grass is always greener. Then, we have the other side of the coin, some people will complain about everything instead of putting the effort in to make a system work for them. The regular posters here are the latter, the ones that seem to flood our board lately are the former.
Personally, I do buy a lot from Amazon. But I only buy new items and only if they are sold by amazon, not private sellers. If I do buy from other sellers, then they are big box sellers that offer free shipping. Amazon's buyer protection is even more strict than ebay's, so if you aren't willing to refund or return for refund, good luck there. I think that amazon does so well is that is screens sellers- I make jewelry and I cannot sell on amazon without meeting very strict criteria, including having my own website- so that they don't have bad sellers.
If you are a good seller, have a lot of product, are willing to take returns, can ship same day, and want to pay higher fees, then by all means, try it. My bet is that you will be back to ebay at some point.
And, in addition, you must have professional quality pictures to sell on amazon. People pay more there because they expect more.
All I can say is good bye and good luck.
