Hi guys,

I have a product which I have created and am now in the process of looking for an online store front. I have a friend who is a web designer but really does the front end aspect of web design. I have another friend who specializes in SEO/SEM...so with both of them working together I can open up an e-commerce site and start selling my product.

However, my family has told me to look into Amazon as they have things set up for small businesses that want to sell products. The only problems that I see is that they will take a cut of something around 15% from the research that I've seen. Also I am not sure how great the SEO/SEM aspect would be in terms of pushing traffic to the Amazon store vs. My own web site.

Does anyone have any experience in Amazon shop, or an opinion or talking points to think of?

Thanks for the help.
