Which one do you use the most and why?
 
Amazon, sadly, convenience
 
I've always preferred eBay for buying and selling. I got scammed on Amazon once. I've been a user of eBay since 2009.
 
eBay hands down. I've just bought a 1987 world almanac and 2 Lit music CDs this week.
 
Amazon because I have prime so can usually get one day delivery
 
I don't do either but if I did, it would be Ebay. Amazon treat their workforce like dirt.
 
Amazon by far. I am a prime member and live near a ton of amazon warehouses so items come FAST. Usually the next day, sometimes the same day.

...shows how lazy its made me because I can walk to a wal-mart from my house. Lol, I should just go there.

Simple solution -- every time you order something from Amazon, hop on the treadmill and walk the distance to Walmart and back. Then you get the convenience and the exercise :D
 
These days mostly Amazon, but I do still get stuff off Ebay too. Not as easy to find good deals on there like way back in the day but you can still find some decent stuff. Get loads of anime and game stuff there.
 
Also wal mart isn't so cheap with their prices these days. Sometimes amazon is cheaper.
 
Depends on what i'm looking to buy, sometimes Amazon is the better option, sometimes Ebay is the better option.
 
I'd rather buy locally if I can find it and at a comparable price; and I'd rather buy from the smaller merchant if I feel like I can trust them; but otherwise I use Amazon. I have developed a strict rule for myself due to a couple of inconvenient 'glitches'......"Sold by Amazon and Shipped by Amazon and In Stock". A couple of items I ordered must have been on a really slow boat from China because they never arrived: but Amazon made it good.
I have also found Chewy to be totally trustworthy for pet supplies. :)

Yes, have to watch out for those 3rd party sellers on amazon!
