Ebay or QVC?

Are you a shop-from-home-aholic?   Is Ebay, Amazon or QVC your poison?  I prefer ebay, because I can get used items for a lot less than the new items on Amazon or QVC.  I knew some people who sent a lot of money to QVC every month for things they didn't really need. It was so easy to pick up the phone and order whatever they were selling at the moment.   Shopping online gives you a lot more options, and still saves your feet.

I sold a couple of things on Ebay this month, just small, unneeded household items. Listing and shipping are chores, and if I didn't live so close to a post office it really wouldn't be worth the trouble. For bonus points, I unload heavier stuff enroute, at the neighborhood thirft store. Then, I buy more junk at the antique store on the way home LOL! but seriouly, it's like an ecosystem.

Facebook is full of trolls.Many questions on Quora have hundreds of good answers.  It has a bookmark feature for answers, but not for questions.  The bookmark feature is pretty crude, just keeps a flat list, with not commenting,...
