Do you shop on EBay or Amazon. With the pandemic lots of people shop online. Still haven't gone back to normal. While other people have. Amazon has delivery $35.00 but now I've noticed handling fees. On some products.

I kicked Baldo Besos to the curb years ago. Amazon was great once upon a time, and I was a customer for a long time. Then the sign-in started up with the multiple captchas, followed by a secret code sent to the email, then more captchas after that. By the time I finally did sign-in, I was in no mood to buy squat. I finally just terminated the account, and of course, ole Baldo even tried to make that impossible, with the termination process going around in circles. I outsmarted him by changing the email to a fake one he didn't know about, and changed the password to a 50 character one I typed blindly...thereby locking the account. I then 'lost' the debit card Amazon had on file, so the bank had to give me a new one, rendering the number Amazon had invalid. Done deal!


I buy the same exact stuff from eBay, Etsy, Jet, AliExpress, etc., that I used to buy from Amazon....and don't have to do 3 or 4 captchas, log-in to my email, then do 3 or 4 more captchas just for the high honor of buying from them. Baldo, let's not deal again!

Both Ebay and Amazon are online shopping mall. There are products you can get on ebay and not on Amazon. What I do is that I use both to compare prices of whatever products I intend to buy and compare shipping cost as well before settling down on the best.

Ebay. I kick Baldo Besos to the curb years ago. Amazon used the 'bait & switch' tactic too much, where multiple items I wanted to buy had excessive shipping costs, but just join Amazon Prime for free shipping! Then when I joined Amazon Prime and went back to buy those items...surprise! surprise!....most of those items were 'automagically' no longer offered on Amazon Prime.

The final straw came when Amazon started making me jump through hoops just to sign in. Do a long and irritating captcha. Now go to your email and get the code we sent. Now do another long and irritating captcha. Yeah, NO! I dropped Amazon faster than a bad habit!

Sorry, to say that I am in a country, where amazon is only available. so I was not able to buy from eBay. I have brought from amazon, sometimes I feel that the quality of the goods is bad and high shipping charge. we should be cautious about buying things from online sites because quality and quantity cannot be examined.

I am sorry to say that I never ordered online through eBay and Amazon. I am more on using the local shop online in the Philippines.

I like eBay more than Amazon because eBay accepts PayPal and because eBay is one of the only sites now a days where you can buy vintage stuff because now a days Amazon kind of went downhill and made some changes where you can’t even get older generation retro video games from them anymore which means eBay is the only place now a days where you can get older generation retro video games now a days because Amazon made some changes due to Covid-19.

For me amazon is the best site to buy and sell, their delivery process for goods ordered is very efficient and reliable, they provide quality services.

If you have Amazon Prime membership you can get free shipping for prime certified products which is good 

I personally , prefer Amazon and Flipkart (Another famous online shopping site in my country, now its owned by WalMart) 

Ebay isn't that big or all well known here

I understand that you are asking if I like shopping on eBay or Amazon. I do not shop on either of these websites, but I understand that many people find them to be convenient and cost-effective options for online shopping. I have heard that Amazon has a $35 minimum purchase requirement for free delivery and that some products may have additional handling fees.
