Question

What are your experiences with Amazon? Do you prefer them to eBay?

Answer 1

Well, that's a tough one.  I was addicted to ebay for many years, but I had a few bad experiences. I now prefer Amazon.  The actual Amazon.com company is quick when mailing you your product, and they offer pretty good discounts and shipping rates.  They also offer the used section, which is great for books or movies.  I have never had a bad experience with Amazon.com.  It really all depends what you are looking for....what are you looking for?

Answer 2

EBay always seems overpriced to me.  I use amazon a lot more.  I trust the vendors more.

Answer 3

Amazon is way better, yaw

Answer 4

I have had wonderful experiences with both.  With Amazon, if I am purchasing new and directly from Amazon, I purchase at least $25 so I can get free shipping.  If I am buying used books, I usually go with Amazon because Ebay sellers will charge upwards of $8 to ship a book plus charge $2 for the actual book, whereas amazon sets the shipping cost (I think it's $2.99) and for the most part I get the book for .50 or $1.00.  The only thing I don't like about Amazon is that it's not the easiest to contact sellers or read their feedback first.  However, I have been buying on amazon.com for my books and dvds and prefer it that way.
