In reply to the discussion: Buying from Amazon and eBay. I find that I trust Amazon more. [View all]Emrys
(7,241 posts)49. Yeah, they don't have the same experiences.
My wife ended up subscribed to Amazon Prime for three years without any recollection of ever having signed up to it or ever having used it. The charge got lost among other credit card bill items until we tried to pay everything off, then it became apparent and it wasn't straightforward to cancel it.
Put it like this: if you're still a fan of Amazon, knowing how shoddily and exploitatively they treat their workers (and indeed some of their third-party sellers), then that's up to you. I'll only use it in desperation. Even for new books, which used to be Amazon's specialty, eBay can top it if you do a proper search.

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!
