0.001 inch shim stock from Anti-Theft device
Lockjaw Larry:
Ed, I prefer Amazon over other sellers because most any item can be returned to local Kohl’s store with no hassle. I have purchased from an EBay seller, later had a problem and could not locate that seller.
Plus I get free shipping with my annual Prime membership. Between my wife’s frequent purchases and my occasional buys it pays us to subscribe to Prime. Besides free shipping we have access to lots of free perks, like free music and videos to watch whenever we want.
Another benefit is they keep records of each purchase so it’s easy to reorder any item, any time.
Ed McCullough:
Amazon sounds great. Also had little problem with ebay. Something arrived last week that was definitely not as good as advertised. I started the return process, got a refund to my PayPal account. Because the dollar value was so low, about $5, seller didn't not want to be bothered by my returning it
Ed McCullough:
I always look first in eBay, because I think the prices are lower there. EBay gives many, many choices. Sometimes an overwhelming number of choices, but I can sort through them.

I use Amazon for pretty much everything from batteries to underwear ;) Every once in a while I'll buy something (like a golf glove for my grandson) that doesn't work out, and I initiate a return. There have been a half dozen times over the years that they give me a refund and just tell me to keep the item.
I usually check multiple places for pricing, but on average Amazon is right with the lowest. The things that push me that way are the free shipping (with Prime, which my wife and I more than recoup!), easy returns, fast refunds, Prime video for movies, series, and documentaries, and easy finding and re-ordering of stuff I've liked. Convenience and time are worth a few pennies to me.
Initially, I hesitated to use Amazon because of the impact on local "mom and pop" stores. With more thought, I realized that mom and pop can sell through Amazon! ;D

I found two more old caches with the shim stock from the Anti-Theft devices. Yahoo! Yippee! Hot dog,! Cold cat! I found an old tuning meter and some other tools. I also found a 16 holer that I had worked up into good condition.
