It really comes down to how bad you want an item. If you really want something, start out in the stores. They offer things that are "buy it now", so you are guaranteed to get it. If you think you can get it cheaper in an auction, at least you know you can find it in a store if you lose.
When you search, the auctions will always be posted first. Many people have items up for auction that are also in their stores, so look in their store before you bid.

It depends on what you want. If they have something in the stores you want, do that. If it is something you can't find in the store, do the auction thing. Just make sure you are bidding with someone who is established on Ebay. Their rating will be there and you can see how many times they've sold things and such. I bought a great old playstation game by bidding. Cost me a hundred bucks, but you can't find it anywhere else, and that was used to boot.

stores are good, usually have a buy it now option so the price does not increase as much as the auctions, but the auctions are fun to. Watch where its shipping from, sometimes the shipping costs are the same if not more then the item you are buying

Stores: you can get the item immediately, without having to wait for an auction's end, but the price might be higher. You may find good deals, though.
Auctions: you may get a lower price, but someone can beat you out, frequently at the last minute.

Either one. The stores usually have better quality stuff at a "buy it now" price. Sometimes, too, the stores will set in "lots". This means the same of one item, but more of them for one price. I have been a professional eBuyer for almost 5 years now. I buy everything from books, used clothes for my daughter, new shoes, toys, collectibles, etc. on eBay. I love it!

i have an eBay store and the good thing about the store is it is instant and also i tend to sell things cheaper in the store than i do in my auctions.
