Watch out eBay Australia! Amazon Warehouses are coming!

After months of speculation it has finally been reported that Amazon is looking at setting up operations in Australia.  This could open up online selling opportunities for Australia using “Fulfilment By Amazon” or FBA where you send your inventory to Amazon and they ship it for you when someone buys.
