I kinda like Ebay express... although sometimes I still get bargains on Ebay, but maybe there are too many people on Ebay that's why prices go high a lot of the times.

I rarely check Ebay Express. I keep forgetting that they have it. I used in once on Christmas for an item that I was deseperately looking for. They didn't have it on ebay so I thought why don't I just check Ebay Express and I couldn't believe they had it and it was the last one left.

I have not tried Amazon I am a registered user of ebay though and buy things from there. And my sister in law told me that ebay charged to list things whether they sold or not. So I think we should be checking out Amazon. And with the set shipping you never have to worry about the shipping cost. Thanks

Yes ebay does charge you to list items. I'm both a buyer and seller there. I've been there for almost 10 years now. Amazon is a great place for buying (and selling too though they charge a bit more when your item sells). You should try it out. I've never had any major problems with the independent sellers except 2 but I've bought there for years.

I have used them both in the past. I do have to agree with you though about Amazon’s shipping prices. It is nice to know that you are being charged a fair shipping rate. I hate finding what I want on ebay only to see that the seller wants to charge an arm and a leg for shipping. I also like Amazon because I like being able to read the reviews of the products that I am about to buy. Because of those reviews, I have saved myself money by not purchasing products that probably would have turned out to be junk.

I forgot about the reviews. That's one of the things I really enjoy about the site. In fact even if I am not going to purchase on Amazon (some other online site), I will go to their site and read the reviews for what I want to purchase. Sellers on ebay have high shipping prices because they don't want to pay a high listing fee. Ebay should really do something about this. They have a set shipping price on Half.com.

Amazon all the way. I've never had a problem with shipping or product damage through Amazon, but I have through Ebay.
