Most of the shears on Amazon are the same Oster A5, except eBay was cheaper and in stock, some on Amazon were out of stock, this seller was in stock and in Georgia. I have the same shears in the closet right now I bought 20 years ago, they're very good, that's why I recommended the Oster A5.
As far as eBay, you obviously have an opinion but it's not based on fact. I've been a member since 2004 and have purchased over 600 items and sold over 200 items, never had a problem. I've purchased about 50 items from Amazon during that time. What I don't like about Amazon is if you select free shipping, the item can be in stock as close as the Tampa area, but they'll sit on the shipment for 5 days because you didn't pay for Prime. eBay is a group of sellers and they live and die with feedback, provide poor service and you'll get bad feedback. For the most part, I only select dealers with free shipping and I find they'll generally ship that day or the next. I just purchased in February 24 old TV and movie 8x10 photos to put on the wall. Probably used 15 dealers and everyone arrived perfectly wrapped and within a week. Also most buyers pay with Paypal, your payment is guaranteed through them.
Here's the photos, I don't believe I could of bought these from Amazon, or for as cheap and as quickly as I got them. The frames with glass I did buy from walmart.com, $14 for 6 glass front frames individually bubble-wrapped. I like Walmart just as much or more if they have the item. They are actually trying harder to keep up with Amazon.
Here's a actual better offer that I would chose over the Georgia seller. Even though it's $8 higher and they're in Nebraska, their feedback is 49,738 and it's 99.5%, that's really a good seller. The volume is probably close to 100,000 since half the people don't leave feedback, and many who do is because they felt they were wronged. To have that many and to be so high, I would have no fear in buying from them with Paypal.
