Help me fix my grammar and spelling for my paper?

Heres my essay Im doing on Ebay and Amazon Comparison. My grammar is really poor :P english is my second language so please help me fix my grammar and make it sound better. here it is Ricky Huang eBay vs Amazon The two most popular online shopping sites: eBay and Amazon. Amazon is like an online store and eBay is not an online store, more of an auction house and is a site where people go to buy and sell their stuff. Both are really successful companies; but which is better- eBay or Amazon? Well, I think eBay is better than Amazon for many reasons: I find it easier to use, more people use it, more items, and more payment methods. Through my research and my personal experience eBay is a bit more expensive, but you get more options like payment and page layout. Unlike Amazon, eBay charges a listing fee whether or not an item sells, as well as any applicable PayPal fees. But its commission is also much lower than Amazon's (8 percent on items under $25, compared with 15 percent). I call this a Tie. So what kind of payment methods do these sites offers? What is payment method? Well payment is pretty much how you going to pay for your things. Most common payment methods are credit cards and bank transfer. Amazon only accepts Credit/Debit card or an Amazon Gift Card. While eBay can accept PayPal, money orders, cashier’s checks, or cash (in person). As you can see eBay gives the seller more payment options than Amazon. I say eBay wins this one. Next is format. Format is basically how you going to seller your items for example eBay popularized the auction format listing and Amazon concentrates solely on fixed-price listings. So which is better? So eBay is better if you are selling antiques and collectibles, as auctions are easily the best way to get the best prices. The Amazon buyer is more affluent, and pays a higher average price for products. EBay is trying to downplay auctions and encouraging fixed-price listings. I call this an eBay win Taxes, we all know what taxes is you pay taxes for things you buy. EBay enables sellers to collect applicable taxes in addition to the sale price which means sellers won’t lose any money to taxes. Amazon sellers are responsible for the sales tax on any items sold so, they generally add the tax into the fix price of their items. It’s a pain in the butt for Amazon sellers. I say eBay wins this one, as well. What about return policy? If you don’t know what return policy is, basically it allow you to return the item and get a refund within a specific period of time. Amazon has the A-to-Z Guarantee which allows buyers to receive a full refund if an item is materially different from that described, for up to 90 days. In a dispute, Amazon typically sides with the buyer. On the other hand eBay seller is free to negotiate with buyers through eBay's PayPal dispute resolution and the seller is not required to offer a refund. While the dispute resolution process can be effective, it can also become messy and time-consuming and can result in negative feedback. I usually don’t have any problems, most of time I can negotiate with the sellers and get a full refund if there’s a problem with my order. I called Amazon win. Photos, its where people post a picture of the product they’re selling. EBay sellers have always struggled with photos. Trying to take good photos, figuring out how to get the photos to show up on eBay, and how many photos they need. Every item, doesn’t matter if it’s exactly the same as another, is will get its own photo on eBay. On the other hand Amazon is different. You only get one photo, and one description page, and all sellers use the same page. Usually the first photo posted on a product, everyone will use the same photo. Some sellers don’t like the idea of other sellers using their photos. It’s better to have more photos for your product, so the customers can have a better view and idea of the product. I called eBay win. Feedback, basically it’s when buyers and sellers leaves a impression of a transaction. Both sites allow buyers to leave positive and negative comments for sellers. The more positive feedback you have the more people will buy from you and trust you. Amazon buyers can see the seller’s feedback score, and usually tends to overlook it more readily than eBay buyers. Amazon’s A-z Guarantee makes the buyer feel more protected when purchasing an item.

1. Online shopping is one of the latest fads in modern day, it is easy to access and provides a efficient experience in the comfort of your home. No lines, no crowded stores -- a shoppers dream. Ebay and Amazon are the two most popular leading corporations in online shopping. They are both successful corporations but differ in significant ways. Ebay is more of a farmers market online, where you can sell and buy used and/or new goods in an auction style, users create accounts and bid on an item along with others. Whereas Amazon is more of first come first serve ideal, you can buy items directly without having to bid. Personally, I find eBay is better than Amazon for many reasons: it is easier to navigate, there is a more variety in items, you have numerous methods of payment available to you and the interaction with other users is very original and intriguing. Though I find myself favoring eBay, it does have its cons. For example eBay charges a few fees such as listing an item to sell or to use paypal as a payment method. But its commission is also much lower than Amazon's (8 percent on items under $25, compared to 15 percent). eBay and Amazon both have its pros and cons. Both sites offer various payment methods to pay for your purchase. The most common payment methods are credit cards and bank transfer (via pay pal). Amazon only accepts Credit/Debit card or an Amazon Gift Card. While eBay can accept PayPal, money orders, cashier’s checks, or cash (in person). As you can see eBay offers more payment options than Amazon which can put them to an advantage in the market. The format of each site is very important for the consumers. Format is basically how you are able to purchase your items. For example eBay has the infamous format of an auction style, where inorder to buy the item you first have to bid on it. Ebay is more popular to those who tend to sell antiques and collectibles because they find the auction style can give them the best prices or profit. Whereas Amazon there is a set price to the item, but eBay has now started giving the option of "buy it now" but those prices tend to be more pricey. Taxes are one of those sensitive topics to many consumers, and are one of those things we don't miss in store. Now EBay enables sellers to collect applicable taxes in addition to the sale price which means sellers won’t lose any money to taxes. Amazon sellers are responsible for the sales tax on any items sold so, they generally add the tax into the fix price of their items. eBay helps their sellers on the site whereas Amazon doesn't. One of the more risky aspects of online shopping is if you can return the item. A return policy is basically it allow you to return the item and get a refund within a specific period of time, just like in stores. Amazon has the A-to-Z Guarantee which allows buyers to receive a full refund if an item is materially different from that described, for up to 90 days. In a dispute, Amazon typically sides with the buyer. On the other hand an eBay seller is free to negotiate with buyers through eBay's PayPal dispute resolution and the seller is not required to offer a refund. While the dispute resolution process can be effective, it can also be inefficent and can result in negative feedback, which lowers the reputation of the seller. Personally, I haven't had many problems of this sort, the few times i did I negotiate with the sellers and get a full refund if there’s a problem with my order. The photo of what you are purchasing is a main decider to if you are going to buy it or pass on it. . EBay sellers are known to struggle with the photo system on ebay, making sure that the photo is true to the item and uploading it onto the site. Every item, doesn’t matter if it’s exactly the same as another, is will get its own photo on eBay. On the other hand Amazon is different. You only get one photo, and one description page, and all sellers use the same page. Usually the first photo posted on a product, everyone will use the same photo. Some sellers don’t like the idea of other sellers using their photos. It’s better to have more photos for your product, so the customers can have a better view and idea of the product. For a buyer to decide who to buy an item for they look at the feedback and reputation of the seller from their previous buyers. Both sites allow buyers to leave positive and negative comments of their experience from their sellers. The more positive feedback you have the better reputation you will achieve and the more people will be willing to buy from you. Amazon buyers can see the seller’s feedback score, and usually tends to overlook it more readily than eBay buyers.
