OverStock.

It's another eBay/Amazon. In my opinion, it's better. They seem to be more legitimate and you deal with actual retailers, not members who are trusted based on a little number next to their username. After being screwed on eBay I switched over to OverStock and haven't left since. Very good site.

What happened to you on Ebay ? (if you don't mind telling)

Well, I still prefer eBay alot morE, SO i WILL STICK WITH THEM AND THE BEST THING IS THAT EbAY USES PAYPAL AND i HAVE NEVER HEARD OF oVERsTOCK BEFORE.

Did you pay using Paypal?

Yah, I've filed the dispute and everything. Really long story but it happened a while ago, it's done.

Must be really frustrating for you!

Anyway, I checked overstock and I think the site looks really nice.

Overstock looks more like a regular online shop that an auction site, is it an auction site at all? I'm confused...

Jerlene · #9 04-22-07, 07:53 PM

It's just a store, no auction. I feel more comfortable using them than eBay though.

Is it better than Amazon?

If it is, I'll definitely buy there. I buy a lot of books and DVDs every month.

If its better than amazon and ships to the UK I might give it a try too.

Yeah, they are more reliable and typically yield better prices than most online marketplaces and shops. Personally, I prefer buy.com though. (Gotta love that domain name

)

I like bestbuy better than buy. :-)

I have to make my first ever Overstock purchase soon.

Jerlene · #14 04-30-07, 10:59 PM

They do ship to the UK. Refer to Amazon.co.uk: low prices in Electronics, Books, Music, DVDs & more

I know the folks that run Overstock Auctions, and overstock in general. The auction folks are definitely top notch, and Meghan and crew have a lot of integrity. But as with any auction the technology group (overstock or ebay), will alway be at the mercy of the seller. They can only remove bad apples, not prevent them.
