Amazon vs Ebay.com

Which online store do you shop more, or do you like better? Why do you pick it over the other one?

I've never had much luck with ebay but I do order stuff off Amazon every once in a while.  Especially around Christmas time.  I've found it easier to do that as opposed to driving 35 miles to the bigger town to shop.

I like amazon.com better than ebay.com because I can count on the item being new and in good condition. But I don't like it that amazon has raised its minimum for free shipping to $35 in purchases. So if I need something quickly that costs less than that, I usually turn to ebay and look for free shipping there.

While E-Bay may be a way to get a "bargain at auction", Amazon delivers no matter what - so I choose Amazon.

I prefer amazon.com because I, personally, think it is safer than using eBay.  I've had some bad experiences on eBay and didn't use the site for a very long time.  I made my first purchase in almost 3 years there a month ago.  Thankfully, the seller was amazing and I got what I ordered amazingly fast and shipped to me for free.  eBay is really only a bargain when you can find free/low shipping auctions.  Otherwise, it's easy to pay just as much, if not more, than the cost of the item just to ship it.

I would rather use amazon because I know what I will be getting is new, I won't be taken advantage of and if something does go wrong, they have excellent customer service that fixes the problem ASAP and to my satisfaction.

I don't have a lot of extra money to spend but if I am going to buy something online, I'd rather pay a few pennies more (and sometimes even get items I am guaranteed are brand new cheaper) on amazon then take a risk with my funds.

I like ebay better than amazon, Ebay has a lot of free shipping. Amazon has some messed up shipping policies. I dont understand them

I like them both but I buy from ebay more often. I also sell things on ebay as the seller fees are a lot less than amazon.

I go to Amazon most of the time.  But I will check out eBay to see if I can get a good price.

I'm addicted to both. Ebay is probably my favorite for hard to find thing.

I have used both, but use amazon.com more, lately I have found out that ebay's prices are as hi as amazon and their items not always are NEW, but depends on what I want to see where I go hunting for it. what I like the most of ebay is the fact that you can use your paypal account, not with amazon but in general I will go with amazon.com
