Include me in the "I still use it but not like I use too".

As Amazon has started to fail more and more I have gone to checking eBay but will go with whichever has the best deal.
|
I was just on ebay before I saw this thread. Checked my "watch" and "selling" items.
I sell a lot of Porsche models and have been since 1998 and never had a bad experience! |
always checking amazon, ebay google for whatever brings me the best deal.
Ebay still does the trick for many things. |

Search both Ebay and Amazon......About 50/50
I'm a SNIPER..........I never bid till 10 seconds to go........ |
I had to today, I need a factory service manual for my XJS, I'm not going to find that on Amazon.
|
If you are selling, Ebay has gotten very expensive especially paired with Paypal
|
I buy lot's of stuff on eBay, but have never sold anything...
|
I used to sell a lot on there. My account goes back to 1998.
I used to buy a lot too but there are too many scammers on there now and it is no longer a community. I got an Amazon Prime account when Grand Tour came out and Amazon is now my go-to for buying anything. If I am in a store, I almost always check to see how much it is on Amazon before buying... |
Flea bay is the flea market for the world. It also turns out to be a great research base for long out of production products and companies that have bitten the dust.
@17% is the vigourish charged by bay and pay. |

Several years ago I had an issue with them selling magazines subscriptions which had me dealing with a vice president of something before we got it resolved. I am suspicious of ebay and its sellers, but still use it from time to time. |
I sell and buy there regularly. The fees you pay along the way almost make it not worth the trouble. Had my account since 1999.
I have mostly used it to buy a lot of hard to find records and small collectibles over the years. |

That being said, I think it's a good venue for selling collector items. The fees have gotten so high that it makes selling "normal" stuff difficult. |
I mostly buy local but sometimes I want/need something that is only available on Ebay.
I've been using it for well over 10 years. My Ebay score is 143 total so not a lot but I've only had two transactions go South and both times I got my money back. And Paypal has been great. No issues so far. |
I use ebay extensively to maintain my cars and use it to price check several online vendors including Pelican.
|
I love it when eBay vendors offer the USPS "Fast and Free" shipping option. I'm not currently using Amazon Prime (didn't renew in 2018) and most of the things I find on eBay end up being slightly cheaper than Amazon. But I often compare the two.

If a person is an Amazon Prime member, it's usually much cheaper than Ebay.
Unless it's a small very lightweight package. |
