I've been on eBay since 2002. It's only in the past 6 months that I finally got how great eBay really is.
Before I make any purchase on Amazon these days I always double check with eBay and ever single time eBay has been able to beat Amazon prices.
With same if not better checkout experience, faster shipping prices and access to Asian marketplaces; it's the jumpoff point before I hit up DealExtreme or Alibaba.
Plus no sales tax.
Plus eBay bucks.
But I'm hesitant on telling more people about this secret because I don't want the cheap prices to go away.
- dublinben 13y agoI think it really depends on what you're buying, and what kind of quality you need. eBay is great for cheap electronics that don't really need to work, but I'm not going to buy my food there.

- alaskamiller 13y agoI buy new/used CPG, electronics, medicine, and food on eBay. On average 5% cheaper than Amazon. Business wise, eBay/PayPal makes 15% off transactions without having to spend on COGS or warehousing. It's incredible. Jeff Bezos lost. No one gets it yet.
