Ebay versus Amazon
Compare	Ebay	Amazon
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	Bargain hunters	Bulk commodity purchases
Who it's not for	Brands wanting their own storefront and customer data	Buyers needing trustworthy reviews for big purchases
Privacy	Checkered history: a 145M-record breach in 2014, an employee stalking scandal, and a 2026 API CVE.^³	No confirmed breach in sources, but active account-attack warnings and credential-abuse campaigns are reported.
Support quality	Users struggle to reach a human	Multiple support channels exist; ConsumerAffairs lists service complaints
Public sentiment	Buyers praise the deals and selection while sellers and reviewers hammer fees and support.^¹	Opinions are polarized: many love the convenience, while a growing share complain about declining quality, review distrust, and pricing practices.¹³
Biggest gotcha	Final value fees take a percent of each sale plus a fixed charge.¹⁰	FTC lawsuit alleges hidden ad surcharges that can inflate what you pay
