Definitely. Ebay has lost their credibility. They could have taken steps to prevent it, but their site is considered less trustworthy, less guaranteed, and more expensive (more fees) than it used to be. It's seldom worth the hassle.

I mostly answered this on the other related question, but I think Amazon has definitely become more reputable than eBay has. The descriptions of the items, the design of the page, the costs of listings, and the ease of purchase are all far better than eBay. I use them far more than I do eBay.

Really, I think it went the other way. I think eBay tried to become a competitor to Amazon (with the emergence of so many people just using the "buy it now" feature) rather than Amazon entering eBay's market. Clearly, eBay has not done very well at challenging Amazon's dominance.

There really is no competition in my mind. Amazon is so much better of an experience than eBay. And most of the time the prices are pretty much the same.
