Online Auctions

What are the top three online auction sites that you browse the most? I'm writing an essay and want to see what people use.

I don't like Amazon much. The three times I've bought from there, I got screwed.
Yahoo has nothing. UBid is crappy. EBay is the best out so far, IMO. That is until Google releases theirs.

Argumentative on the best online auction and pros and cons of online buying.
Ebay is the best. Pros= cheaper, easier to find stuff, lots of rare items.
Cons= you can get scammed, get the wrong item or a broken item.

well the case wasnt about preference, it was about traffic and volume.... the highlighted topic was ebay and the competition was just one facet of the case...
