I love amazon to death you can stack unlimited egift/giftcards to that balance and save it for later date without even having to worry about the points ever expireing & it seems to have more credible and more honest people then ebay does

I love amazon.. I always check prices on there before I buy on any other sites. And its super easy to earn giftcards for amazon.

I love Amazon. I am constantly earning and redeeming Amazon E-gift certificates to purchase stuff I need for my household. I will always be doing it.

I did some of my Christmas shopping on Amazon this year and was pretty pleased with the site.  My only issue was that one of the items had to come from somewhere else and they charged 6.95 S&H on an item that only costs 14.95 to begin with.  I went ahead and ordered it as I was running out of time.  All the other stuff I ordered with that item had no S&H on it.  I'm sure I'll use Amazon again but hopefully will be able to get everything with no S&H.  I've never ordered off Ebay; I've never found that website to be very user friendly (or maybe its just me?)

I like both Ebay and Amazon. I find amazing deals on both sites.

I find most of the items I'm looking for on Amazon.  I try to look on EBay, but it's not very well organized, and I've never found anything of interest there.

Post by: misi49 on December 30, 2013, 06:03:11 pm
I have used Ebay a few times and I really can't complain.  I have never bought anything on Amazon but I have earned some Amazon E-gift certificates lately so I definitely will be checking them out to see what I can redeem them for.  I am glad to see all the other posts and everyone seems to hold Amazon in high regards so I will feel better about shopping there.  Thanks everybody for sharing that information. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :)

I use Amazon a lot.  The price is fixed and I earn gift cards to pay for things.  Their customer service is great too.  One item I ordered didn't have an instruction sheet and the supplier didn't reply so they gave me a refund without requiring a return.  :thumbsup:

How do you earn Amazon cash to spend?

I earn Amazon gift cards through a site called Swagbucks.

Amazon's my favorite store for sure. I earn a lot of Amazon gift codes online, and they have almost everything i need or want. Usually their prices can't be beat, although lately I have been finding some better prices on Ebay. But if I'm using gift cards I got online anyway, the price isn't really much of a problem, because it's all free to me!

Amazon is the best!I can always find what I'm looking for and they usually have the best prices.It's also a good way to get rid of what you don't want anymore.

I shop on both, but Amazon more - great deals usually, and now can go through Ebates for some cash-back money.

I have never used amazon.  So are they like E bay where you can sell or buy items from?  Is it like an auction.  What kind of payment plans do they have I mean there is Paypal on e bay so what do they have?

I love Amazon. They have everything and their prices are usually very good. I use it for e books and did a lot of my Christmas shopping on Amazon. They are reliable where as ebay is not always.

I have bought items from both sites.  It would be hard to pick my favorite.  I have been satisfied with both.  I probably have purchased more items from Amazon.  I love being able to read the reviews.  Also, I use my Amazon credit card for everything I buy so I can earn more loyalty points and get free money off!  I've had great luck on eBay with looking for hard to find items.

Post by: hollister237 on December 31, 2013, 11:03:42 am
Amazon is better. I don't really understand ebay and I think it is just easier to pay with a credit card rather than have to pay with paypal (something I also don't understand).

Yup, gotta agree with most everyone else, Amazon is just an awesome place to shop.  I, too, rack up the Amazon Gift Cards and pay for things I buy with those.  I can find things on Amazon that I can't find in my local stores, and usually at a better price, anyway.  I bought a few things for Christmas on Amazon and their packing/shipping is great.  I can't complain.  Amazon's been good to me.

I use Amazon and Ebay. Not too many problems with either one of them. I seem to get better deals on electronic accessories (chargers, cases, etc) on Amazon than Ebay.

Amazon is my favorite online shopping site because I can always find what I'm looking for on there. They also have the search bar which helps when I don't know the exact name of a particular item. I've been with Amazon for years, but this year I got reacquainted with them and bought a few things.

I love Amazon! I haven't tried Ebay, but I think they wanted me to use PayPal and I don't have that. Amazon has a lot of different things! Plus, things are so inexpensive.  :thumbsup:

Post by: ernica96 on December 31, 2013, 05:27:00 pm
I use both but I've noticed that amazon is becoming more like ebay with a growing number of chinese sellers. It all depends on what I have to buy. For ex: I need loreal everstrong repair treatment and the cheapest price on ebay was $6 and I found it on amazon for $3 something (had to buy more than one to get that Price). I research the item on both sites and use the site with the cheapest price.

Depending on what it is I'm buying...I use both eBay and Amazon (though I use Amazon more).
I make jewelry (sometimes) and there are some awesome deals on beads and supplies on eBay that Amazon just can't match, but there are things on Amazon that eBay can't touch.

So it really just depends on what you're looking for I think.

Amazon is great.  I have an Amazon Kindle.  Books and magazines for the Kindle are very reasonably priced.  I can't really compare Amazon to ebay, because Amazon is not an auction-style website.
Title: Re: amazon
Post by: bigfoot951 on January 01, 2014, 10:20:03 am
I guess I like it more than Ebay but then again I don't ever use either.  With Amazon it isn't necessarily on purpose but I don't ever ending buying from the site.

I like Amazon better, it is easier and I get amazon cards as pay on some of my other sites. Did a lot of my Christmas shopping there this year.

I mostly use ebay. I have bought a couple of things from amazon cuz I had a gift card. Some prices are good...just like anything else...gotta shop around to look for the best deal.

I don't have very much experience of Amazon but I hear it's very good. The only experience I have of Ebay is a bought a second hand PSP once for my eldest son. When I received it it didn't work at all. Thankfully, the money was temporarily held at Paypal and after returning the goods, we were able to get out money back. So my experience of Ebay is not great but my sister uses it all the time and cannot speak highly enough of it.

I like amazon the best. There are a few better deals with eBay but you can make out better with amazon in the long run.
I am always getting gift cards for amazon and I have a credit card with them too. Ebay has the eBay bucks but now if you don't have at least 5.00 worth in a quarter you don't get your bucks and you loose them. You now have to spend at least
250.00 with them in 3 months and that may not sound like a lot but they just don't have enough deals and reasons for me to spend that much in that time frame. :angry7: :BangHead: :angry7: :BangHead: :bs: :bs:

I love Amazon. Mostly because I'm a seller on there and I do very well. But they also have a large range of products at great prices and I prefer just having the price always set and not having to ever bid on anything.
