Electronics Deals Online
To find out which of the big bargain sites truly offers the best electronics deals online, Consumer Reports recently pitted eBay, Overstock, Walmart, Target, and Amazon in a head-to-head comparison. According to the results, it is important for consumers to calculate shipping fees before they settle on a retailer, read the return policy's fine print before making purchases and know the value of being able to return items to a walk-in store.
Out of the five sites compared, eBay was the low price winner. The site is no longer just for auctions and random collectibles, but includes many individually operated virtual stores and "Buy It Now" prices with no bidding required. After adding up the pretax totals, including shipping, eBay prices beat the others. However, shipping rates vary a lot and shipping times may also be longer then on competing sites, so it's important to check the fine print.
