My ebay update

[herm4]

Or 1998 .

I registered on ebay in May, 1997. The site went live in September, 1995.

Oh my!! I guess I stayed away from ebay because I din't want to have soooo much to look at and purchase.

Sometimes you can buy things at an online store cheaper than in the stores and ebay too. We bought my daughter a brand new Fisher Price FP3 player on wal-mart.com because for about a week they had them marked down to $39 and they are normally about $59.00. I checked ebay but they were $59 and then you pay the shipping on top. sooo not worth it. I can order walmart and pick up in store and get warranties to boot.

Only thing I usually look at is kids clothes (in lots only as pieces are too expensive with shipping) and we have bought parts off there for my husbands 4-wheeler which were about 1/2 of the local store here.

Definitely. We always check Amazon. The advantage there is that qualifying orders over $25 get free shipping. Not paying for shipping often gives them the price advantage over other sites. We'll periodically put things in our Amazon shopping cart and wait until our order is over $25 before submitting it.
