I just ordered something on amazon yesterday. I don't trust eBay.

Amazon is more trustworthy, but eBay can have better prices and more available items.

Lots of people trying to scam on eBay, maybe it's cheaper there but I wouldn't take the risk
Go with Amazon

Why do you have a website that logs my IP?

I heard one time someone hacked a persons eBay account and bought like 500 pairs of shoes and the person who was hacked had to still buy them..

It depends on what you're looking to buy. eBay is fine if you only buy from people with 95% or higher feedback.

More like 98% or higher. 95% shows they've had bad experience with customers in the past and believe me I have been one of those people who has had problems with a best seller out of all of the good reviews. There are people who whine about the seller with a bad reason so I make sure to see if the rating is also just from bad buyers.

Yeah, I always read the bad reviews

Major companies like Amazon and eBay didn't get such an inflated reputation because they are "scam sites." eBay is primarily for auctions and they sell no in-house items, so you're more prone to risk over there. The chances of you getting flat out "scammed" are pretty slim unless you just walk right into it.

Amazon is probably the best place to buy anything on the internet, not sure why you'd be suspicious of the site at all. I've been a Prime member for years.
