    Amazon or ebay?

    Which do you use for your online shopping needs? That is, if you don't include reasons like the EoFF amazon?

    Depends on what gives me the cheaper option.

    I will often check all corners of the internet for deals before making a purchase.

    They work two very different ways.

    Between those two, 95% Amazon 5% ebay

    Numbers possibly skewed by my Kindle

    Amazon is first port of call. I get most my new games there.

    Ebay is useful for rarer items, such as figurines.

    "other" would be for anything that I can't get on Amazon, but isn't et on ebay. For example, the bravely default collectors edition was only on shopto.net. I got it there.

    I use both in equal amounts, I would say.

    I tend to venture to Amazon whenever I need to buy something online.

    I use eBay mostly, just because I used to find the number of things that posted to Australia through Amazon very disappointing. That has probably improved since the last time I visited our version of the site, but I have an eBay habit now.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    Amazon tends to be where I get things that I need purchased from an online general purpose kind of a store. I never had an ebay account. Amazon also has the addresses of various EoFFers in there for whenever I want to send surprise gifts.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I buy from Amazon generally. I have Amazon Prime so I get to have the free two day shipping. I've only used ebay when trying to find a good deal on a rarer game or whatnot.

    Yeah, mainly Amazon these days. I'm really bad at ebay and I'm always in bidding wars for random items. I'll end up paying £200 for a pair of gardens shears or something.

    I always use the EOFF Amazon link too which goes without saying

    I only shop at small independent stores on the high street no bigger than 4sqm in floor size and run by hipsters with beards so I can retain my essential feeling of moral superiority over filthy proles feeding the Amazon corporate machine.
