I use all 3, but definitely amazon.com is the one most often used.
 
We always renew our amazon prime membership yearly - for $79.00 you get anything delivered in two days for $0.00 shipping! (Almost anything - doesn't include items from 3rd party/marketplace sellers) And no minimum order amount either - that's really cool.  If you need something small right away, you don't have to add items to your order to meet a minimum, or wait til you need other items before ordering.
I KNOW we've saved a BUTTLOAD on shipping charges. So to me that $79.00 is well worth it.

I also like their subscribe and save program, although some of the discount %s have been lowered recently.
  
I don't use eBay very often, but I do go there fairly often and look for items, even if I buy elsewhere.
eBid is another one...(apparently) they charge lower seller fees, so prices CAN be lower there than on eBay, but not always.

Overstock is really different.....it's kind of strange, most times they're higher on things than amazon (and a lot of other places), but on occasion I find things there for a WAY lower price than anywhere else.
They don't have nearly the selection that amazon does though, that's for sure.

** I was REALLY amazed to see how many people posted that they had never tried overstock.com.......I never
     would have guessed that would be the case, since they always have advertising on TV/internet.

I use EBAY the most often because I am often looking for out of print stuff.

I use both Amazon and Ebay, but I've had the best luck with Amazon. They almost always have what I'm looking for.

I did have an Amazon Prime membership for a while. I think they give you a month or two month trial for free. It worked out great because I was looking for something very specific for a gift for a friend who was having a baby girl. They had something that worked out well, but I had waited so long it was so close to the baby shower. I signed up for the Prime and got my shipping within three or four days. It took a little longer than expected, but it still arrived in time. I also ordered some other things while I had my trial membership, but they did not arrive with in the two days, they took a little bit longer than that too.

So it was nice because the shipping did come sooner than most, but it was not the advertised two day shipping. Plus I could not afford the $80 a year, especially since I do not buy enough from amazon to make it worth while. But I can see if people shop a lot from Amazon how it could be beneficial.

I've never gotten anything from Overstock, but it looks great.  I've shopped on Amazon, found great deals and steals, but never purchased.  I have purchased from eBay multiple times and never had a bad experience.  It's nice being able to find things you can't in stores.  Walmart doesn't have vintage toys that I used to play with.  Even Candy Land was changed.

I don't like overstock but like Amazon alot.  I use ebay also.  On ebay you can also buy or use auction.  Have different perks for each site.  But Amazon seems to be the best.   :cat:

There are too many web sites that we can shop nowadays.
But if I have to choose over those 3, it will most likely be Amazon.

I love Amazon but I'm starting to dabble into Ebay since it saved me over $50 bucks :thumbsup:

I use both Amazon and Ebay but I feel safer to buy from Amazon. When I buy anything on Ebay I always make sure to buy from sellers who have good feedbacks. I've had a bad experience before...

I've used Amazon about twice so far and am likely to use them again. I've looked at eBay, and will probably use since they allow PayPal. I will have to take a look at Overstock.
