Default Ebay

I have bought and sold on eBay for about 15 years. I always check Feedback first. I have never had a bad experience. eBay is great for vintage articles and hard to find things. I use Amazon for new articles and things I need to get right away. Both are great for returns and I’ve never had a problem.

Ebay is generally lower price and can find more obscure things and used items. Amazon is a better user experience. Sometimes Ebay will send "gray market" items which may include non-authentic copies of games or other items. Some may appreciate a knock off at a lower price while others may not.

Don't do either, I wear a mask, wash my hands and social distance when I go to the store to shop.

I feel ebay is more personal people, that may or not be responsible. I will use Amazon over ebay, for sure, but prefer going directly with the company I am doing business with.

I find that Amazon Prime is much faster in delivery than Ebay. Also, returning something is much easier through Amazon than Ebay. I shop at both sites but prefer Amazon because of their return policy.

Spot on. Amazon better for day to day things with no hassle and fast shipping. eBay you can get better bargains sometimes, but you have to be more attentive and patient.

You can also find more "eclectic" things on eBay. I can find a vintage pair of boots on eBay, not Amazon. I like Saucony running shoes, but I like the model from two years ago better than the current model. I can find the older model on eBay.

You may got scammed and or knowing gave the access to you you’re computer or through email. Like the one that says you’re account has been hacked and call or click here. Several scams going around even amazon scam. Never respond to email or give online access to you’re computer, call the company directly from land line or cell phone.
