EBay and Amazon are two popular sites where you can order and buy a lot of things without living your room. Amazon is basically an online company that houses different types of products for people to buy, and in case you are not satisfied with a product you have bought, you can easily order for replacement. eBay, on the other hand, cannot be classified as an online store. eBay is just like an online platform where people can display their products and sell them to the highest bidder.

eBay on its own does not sell anything to anybody, and you are only going to purchase your goods and products from other people who can be regarded as sellers. Since Amazon is an online store, it is legally bound and responsible for every activity that is taking place on the site, while eBay will not be held responsible for any wrong deal or purchase you make on the site since you are not dealing directly with the site.

Amazon and eBay are two popular sites for online shopping. Amazon is an online store, and eBay is an auction house. The main difference between the two is that eBay is a site where people go to purchase and sell their stuff. Amazon, on the other hand, is protected by the laws and parameters that stores are required to follow, and they are bound to providing service and warranties to their customers. With eBay, you deal with another person, not the site itself. If your transaction goes sour, eBay is not legally bound to compensate you.

Therefore, a lot of scammers hit up eBay. The products on Amazon, on the other hand, are brand new. Prices are lower on eBay because of the way it is set up and rampant with bargain hunters. Also, you can return items purchased on Amazon, but not on eBay. eBay is more like an online garage sale.
