I am also sure there are other websites that have things cheaper than amazon. Ebay is a business, people sell stuff to make money. It pays to shop around, just because it is on ebay does not mean it will be the cheapest, especially when shipping is included.

If someone wants to buy it from EBay that's their business. It could be people feel more secure with E Bay than Amazon.

yes I have seen this.
Most that you see on ebay is purchased elsewhere on the internet.
A few years ago i was purchasing dvd writers for £39 and selling them with ease for £64.99 most people assume that ebay is the place to get a bargin but the truth is its not.
However auction listings are not bad but still people bid over the odds just so they win. Its all about winning
hope this helps

people will sometimes pay over the odds for something on auction as they take it personally and become in a bidding war with other bidders. I have a friend who purchased a picasso picture on ebay, un-authenticated, then had it authenticated by soemone and then sold it on ebay and made 35,000 pounds - ebay, sometimes a bargain other times a rip off..

I always check out prices elsewhere before bidding on anything. Some people think Ebay is the cheapest or just don't care to shop anywhere else.

Lol people on ebay are mad.
I've seen them buy things at prices far higher than you would pay in the high street.

To each, his own. If you like Amazon, stay with Amazon.
