Amazon or ebay?

Amazon to buy paper, eBay to buy wood.

Does "Buy It Now" have some magic function that always lets you use your credit/debit card or something? People keep saying it's the go-to button. Though it's generally tagged with an overly inflated price. But the eBay I know requires PayPal, which is also a pain in the ass. I use Amazon because I use my debit card for everything. PayPal requires like 5 days to transfer funds. Which sucks if I find something up for auction that ends in like 1 or 2 days. Serious headache

You can pay directly with a debit/credit card through PayPal. Like, it uses PayPal but not actual PayPal funds. It goes through in a day for me when I do it this way, which is the same time it takes for me if I pay through debit/credit directly online.

Yeah, I have always tied my PayPal with my debit card. I didn't know people actually loaded PayPal with credit.

I buy clothes and shoes on ebay. Regular solid colored camisoles, cardigans, stretch tees and flats. It's just such a million smurfing times better than going from store to store to find what I want. No I don't want a shelf bra camisole. No I don't want v-neck weird ribbed material tees. Just give me the stuff I want and give it to me super cheap as I sit in the convenience of my own home!

There's "buy it now" on most items that are sold by mini-stores operating through ebay, where they usually have 10+ of any given item at any time. Rare items, however, are still usually bid on.

One bad experience I had with ebay, was that I had just one an auction for Final Fantasy VIII when I was informed that I couldn't make good on my end because I'd gone past my credit limit and actually already owed money. The guy selling the game was understandably pissed.
