Re: A Prime example

there's not fixed rule that amazon is more expensive than ebay or seller's own website (and I'd be the last to defend amazon! :)

Generally, yes, ebay is somewhat cheaper (but the difference is minimal sometimes), and recently, I found that sellers' website price was actually significantly higher than what they offered on amazon.

Sometimes it's also worth paying a little extra for amazon, as their returns policy is more customer-friendly (if you know which button to click).

But, in general, in 2019, you have an online battle between, practically, just two platforms, amazon and ebay. The rest are hardly ever cheaper (unless you're talking own brands, like, say, argos vacuum or asda kettle).
