@Tinkrbl44 yes, but that can be a good thing! I often put thing in my cart and then click on "save them for later." Then if the price goes down I'll see it. They regularly list when there is a price change.

If I look at something at Amazon, but leave without purchasing,  I often see that Amazon has lowered the price as an inducement when I come back!

Makes shopping fun and adventurous!  Shopping is, after all, a sport.

QVC had cancelled my A/D for Strivectin Tightening Neck Cream 3.4 oz ($90). Amazon had a one day special for the same for $99. I purchased it on their subscription services and saved an additional 5% for every 5 months. The price now is $159.00. So, it does pay to watch their prices.

Just today I had an item in my cart and now it $15 less. Sometimes it pays to wait. I did buy it. Plus it's due to be delivered later today. QVC can't do that.

If I'm just "shopping or looking" and not buying .... I usually get an email with an "incentive" or something similar that I might be interested in.

I'm a "subscribe and save" buyer ... get lots of deals from them.

I throw stuff in my cart all the time and do a save for later. Alexa notifies me if the price drops. Sometimes I buy when that happens, sometimes I don’t.

I keep a long watched list on both Amz and on ebay.

@SurferWife  you are so correct about that!  I read article in NYT not too long ago how often third party products on Amazon, (as well as eBay) , are expired, (Ready to expire)  are seconds, or knock off products.  They did extensive testing of items over a year or so and found this to be true. Especially if you are buying name brand products.  Many 3rd parties buy overstock, or dated product. Many buy knock offs because they order their stock from out of country, or it comes from overseas ...then to local US warehouse. So it's hard to tell where oroduct is coming from!!

I'm an eBay seller and also do most of my buying there, as well.   I just never found Amazon to be particularly user-friendly, I guess.

Yesterday, I found a couple of things on Amazon I'm considering buying and left them in my shopping cart.

Today, both are a couple of dollars higher .... Is this common?

Yes sometimes up sometimes down witih items in your cart.  To the right of the price click on Price History and will show the changes in prices by dates.

How long have you been selling on eBay?  I've been there 30 years

Some of the items are on a 8 or 9 day cycle where it will go lowest to highest then start over and cycle again.
