In reply to the discussion: Buying from Amazon and eBay. I find that I trust Amazon more. [View all]DFW
(54,325 posts)3. From the few times I have used either, I find a mixed bag for both
Ebay couldn't care less if the seller shafts you or not. You're on your own, and usually S.O.L.
Amazon won't do anything if the seller shafts you either, but they at least ask you what was wrong.
In my experience, that constitutes the entire difference, which is I try to avoid both.

The other accounts of experiences with eBay under this OP so far don't chime with mine at all.

You should have contacted the seller and left appropriate feedback depending on the outcome.

I didn't mean to sound critical of you, which reading back, my post could have seemed.

Ditto, I know most purchases will be delivered in 2 days with Prime, ebay sellers mostly use USPS!
