I'm talking about third party sellers. I buy my books used online because our library is still closed. The Ebayers seem to knock themselves out getting their items to me, and that includes items beyond books. Those do come Priority, however.

@depglassEveryone Ebay is a third party market place. Ebay (the company) doesn't sell a thing.

I know it's apples and oranges but it's hard to beat Amazon sometimes.....yesterday morning I ordered a pain relief ointment. It arrived at my door before 5 PM same day.

If Amazon has a factory near you, you will get it the same day you order. Happened to me more then several times.

Always have had good experiences from Ebay vendors! One year for Christmas I ordered a rare old classic movie for my sister, it was late in the holiday season when I came across it and thought it would be a nice surprise (she had wanted this movie and had been looking for it for a long time) ....I didnt expect it to arrive in time for Christmas and planned to take a photo of the movie DVD cover and put it in a box to say that it was coming ...... Lo and behold I received it in 2 days and shipping was free!

Same here ... I've always had good experiences with Ebay. Glad your sister was happy with her gift!

We ordered an HP printer from Amazon and are Prime customers and this item was being shipped from Amazon. It took 5 days transit time.

We also ordered an unrelated item from Ebay. That seller was from New Hampshire and we are many, many miles away yet we received it in 3 days. The shipping cost was $6.00 and were stunned that it arrived so quickly.
