As a buyer, I'm sticking with amazon -- I tried to buy a few things on ebay for xmas presents. 2 out of 3 turned into disasters -- one was an item for which the sale was "canceled" by ebay because the seller had been suspended -- of course they canceled the sale a week after I paid, and then it took me another 2 weeks to get my money back. I ordered the same items from amazon for about the same price, no problems.
As a seller - ebay is a mess for me -- the only thing that keeps me there is a lack of an clear alternative for auctions in my category.
I dumped my ebay stock at $25 (at a loss) and I'm sure glad I did...
