All of the personal and my business purchases in the last year for me (running into 6 figures) have been thru' Amazon
Their system is simply much nicer to use and their support is great, even when buying from 3rd party merchants on their platform. There were cases where something wouldn't work (example a phone a month ago) and i was refunded first and then given several weeks to return the broken phone!
Best of all I no longer have to deal with Paypal and their whims or worry about being scammed on their Ebay site. Hell now that I think of it I have barely used paypal in the last year.
Also I can buy giftcards at 3% discount on the likes of gyft.com (10% last black friday weekend) with bitcoin. Amazon sort of indirectly accept bitcoin via their giftcards which is fantastic + discount on top. And of course the Prime programme is great with free deliveries.
I hate the way on Ebay something is listed with a low price but by time you get to checkout mysterious high delivery fees appear, that in my opionin is sneaky. Neither is their 90s interface nice or user friendly to use.
edit: wow i sound like i got brainwashed by Amazon lol! Oh well one happy customer here :)
