Yeah, but obviously they are making less money on the deal because they have to pay a percentage of the sale to Ebay.

You assume that ebay chargers them the same rate they charge for small customers?

You also have to remember that selling in their stores costs them overhead.

Neither of those points answers his question. Even if ebay charges Target less than others it is still costing them something (as opposed to selling only on their own site).
As far as overhead goes. Why would there be lower overhead filling orders through ebay as opposed to just on their website (which theyre paying to maintain anyhow)?

I wasn't saying it's not a smart idea (look back at my response to the question). Just saying those 2 points dont make sense.

I was just looking for some behind the scenes insight into why they were doing it. Since it really didn't make sense at first glance.
