Amazon. Plus it has free shipping for Amazon-sold items.

I don't do it much, but I've used eBay more then the other two services.

Amazon as I trust that site, the items are cheap, you can save on delivery and it arrives quickly :) I haven't ever had trouble with Amazon ^^

Ebay. If you put some effort into it you can save quite a bit of money. I got lucky and got a new ipod nano 5th gen for $120 (It was 'Buy it now' and I saw it as it soon after it was put up). At the time most brand new were going for $150 and up while used were $120. I've gotten a few CDs for like $1-$2 free shipping etc...

You just gotta be careful. My worst experience was buying from India, it took roughly 3-4 weeks to get the item I had bought. A mistake I hope to avoid in the future.

Amazon I never bothered and craigslist is alright. We've used it before and it was okay, just much easier to deal with it over the web instead of in person, especially with all the weirdos out there. We had one guy trying to sell us drugs one time. :P

Amazon. Craig's List is way too sketchy for my liking and Ebay is a bit as well. I just haven't really used Ebay much I guess.

Craiglist is ugly, eBay is fun, but Amazon is great.

Craigslist is way too sketchy for my tastes so I avoid it.

Amazon is alright if you're looking for games, books, etc., but it sucks when you're trying to find rare stuff.

Ebay is my favorite shopping site. I've found a lot of stuff on there that I wouldn't have a chance in hell of finding anywhere else. The stuff that gets sold on ebay also tends to be much cheaper than the prices you can find elsewhere. And as long as you're careful and know what to keep an eye out for, eBay can be one of the safest and most assured buying experiences on the internet. I've found that I usually have a much better idea of what I'm going to get when I order off eBay than when I order off Amazon, for example.
