I think eBay is better than Amazon


Amazon just seems overpriced and has fewer options.

I do think things come in faster from Amazon though.

They most certainly do. But the cost is too much and your selections are limited.

One thing I dislike about eBay is that they have a limit on gift card transactions per purchase, so I have to buy the highest amount gift card or reduce my orders. I don't like Paypal either, so I usually go to Amazon, Walmart, or niche department stores. I would prefer to shop eBay if it was as easy to shop.

I've used PayPal for 20 years and never had one issue, plus you have protection if there's a problem.

Selling your stuff on eBay is different matter. If I have valuable things to sell, the buyers want the prices to be cheaper than I had bought them. I know that when I tried to sell one of the most valuable and impossible to find stuff, I got attacked for setting that price. Needless, it was so bad that I cancelled my selling. eBay always gives different mailing prices than my post office's--often less price than post office's. I had to paid the differences by subtract the buyer's payments--that mean less money for me. Also, my biggest cripes is I had to get up early to pack the whole thing in secure box,taping it, and get on my computer to transfer the payments into my account and log into ebay to get the shipping lapels--praying kike mad hoping mail person had not not arrived. UGH!

I prefer Ebay. I like that I can filter by "item locacation", which helps n ed shop more or less locally, and I'd rather give money to small business people than Jeff Bezos. Bezos is scum.

When you shop eBay you are usually supporting small businesses which is what keeps the middle class alive. Shop on Amazon and you are just putting more money in a billionaires pocket.

Oh, I didn't know that. Well that makes me feel a bit more assured.
