Anyone purchased/sold a business trading on Amazon

[XMT]

Hi All,

As per the title has anyone purchased or sold a business predominantly trading on one of the marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay.

I know this does happen however I have a questions around this:

1) How do you go about valuing a business to buy it - in my humble opinion there is more volatility selling on a marketplace therefore would it be worth less than say another business?

2) If a amazon business is purchased or sold and you already have an account then how do they play with this, if you have a current amazon selling account and are going to buy another business that has one, then what, do they allow you to have both? OR
If you have a business selling on amazon and sell the business with the account then are you allowed to open a freash one?

Depends what you mean by 'business'. I bought a limited company which traded on Amazon (among other places), and rhe chanfe of ownership was effectively irrelevant as far as Amazon would be concerned.
