    Recently on Amazon: $10.99
    + free shipping if you have prime, which I don’t
    so + $4.99

    Meanwhile on eBay: $5.99
    + $4.99 shipping

      After trying to return stuff on Amazon and eBay you will understand. I’ve been paying for prime 5+ years at this point, so much peace of mind.

        Not that anyone asked, but my greatest frustration lately is when I order something on ebay and it shows up in an Amazon box. F THOSE COMPANIES

          Companies selling on both, companies reusing used Amazon boxes, or am I missing something entirely?

            I’m just the consumer so I don’t know for sure, but I believe these are cases of the company sells on both platforms but fulfills all orders via Amazon, which (a) defeats my purpose of shopping on eBay and (b) is against eBay’s rules, I believe.
