AMAZON VS. EBAY: Advantage, Amazon — for the moment. Plus this: “E-commerce, though, was once thought to be a refuge from economic storms. People who stay away from the mall might actually be more tempted to shop online and hunt for deals, or so the thinking went. But analysts are now revisiting that assumption.” I’ve probably shopped on line more, to save on gas and traffic hassles. But I suppose that might change if things tighten up.
