Hey mylotters,
I need your advice on something. I'm planning to buy something online and I'm not sure which company I should buy it from.
If you can, I would like to know your preferences in terms of flexibility, safety and shipping of items.
Which company do you think is most trustworthy and which one do you use mostly (if not only)?
Please do tell me your experiences with them if you made any purchase/sold anything.

Hi, I buy all my stuff on Ebay and that's quite a bit for a long time, and I also have been selling since 2002. I've had one or two problems over the years and that's it, and they were always taken care of for me immediately.
My daughter buys on either, and she has never had a problem on Amazon so far. I myself, have never bought from Amazon, but I would if I found what I wanted cheaper.
I would go with either site, but that's my opinion.

i dont know about amazon, but if you are from india its better to keep away from ebay.
because if you buy from ebay.in they will not accept paypal
secondly if you purchase from ebay.com, mostly they will not ship to india.

Purchasing from either gives you buyers protection. It all depends on who has the best deal on the items I am looking for. Remember to take into account the shipping charges on both sites when looking at the items.
I will tell you that Amazon has a great customer service center if you have any problems with your items. I recently purchased a large ticket item from Amazon and had a slight problem with it. I called and the problem was corrected that day. There was no waiting for an individual to get back with me.
