    Amazon all the way for me - I've sold loads of books, DVDs, CDs on both places and whilst you don't have the Ebay thrill of watching people bid, I've made more money, you know what you'll get IF your books sell.

    I found Ebay has got more and more irritating with insisting I took Paypal (I resent paying 3 sets of fees, 2 to Ebay and 1 to Paypal).
