Have Prime... not worried...

While I haven't jumped into the music/photos yet, I'd pay the same annual subscription price for just the shipping or just the video service if I had too. The fact that you get two for the price of one is incredible.

If you aren't taking advantage of prime, you are legitimately throwing away money elsewhere.

All these people laughing at you for not having it but you know what? I don't have prime. I may order only 1 or two things from Amazon a year. It just isn't worth it for the movies if you don't shop often.

How is that possible? I order everything I can from Amazon. I spent between $6k-$7k last year.

Like I said, 100 out of 100 times I fund the same item cheaper on eBay and shipping is either free or the price of the item plus shipping still well below Amazon.

Plus Amazon charges sales tax.

NO THANK YOU

Yeah, I've tried to return shite I bought on eBay. That, and free shipping more often than not takes forever.

NO THANK YOU.

Yea, but the difference in customer service is LIGHTYEARS better from Amazon. You may be paying a little more from them but Amazon's customer service more than makes up for it. Best customer service experiences I've ever had have been through Amazon.

A lot of those volume sellers on eBay sell the same stuff on Amazon, under Prime, for the same price. While I do find a few things cheaper on eBay at times, I would say 75% of the time items are the same or cheaper on Amazon. Plus as another poster said, the customer service/returns aspect is unmatched in online sales.

I get pissed when I have to buy items from another retailer and they don't have policies like Amazon. For example, it's 2016 and Mac Mall has no way to cancel a purchase online. WTF

Forwarded to the Department of Revenue, as I would just like to double check that you reported your use tax

I don't hate eBay. I buy used parts for my off-road toy from there. I also sell to people on eBay sometimes. I love suckers.
