Reasons I use ebay for: 1. Discounted gift cards, 2. Cheap imports from China.

As a buyer I have been happy with ebay, things take a while to come but are generally well before the estimated time and a lot of stuff is much cheaper than Amazon.

As per returns/bad goods, Sellers are generally willing to send a replacement item if the original has an issue

And on Ebay I don't have to spend time wondering if this is a prime exclusive, or an add-on item, or if postage is included or not.

Shopping on Amazon is just exhausting now. Even for books they're not my first choice anymore - wordery is.

You got me interested. How deep of discounts are we talking here? And for what businesses? And have you gotten screwed ever?

10-20% discount. Mostly from the daily deals section. I mostly buy Lowes gcs, some restaurants gcs along with Dominos.

>2. Cheap imports from China.

Start using Aliexpress and you have one less reason to use Ebay.
