Ebay is a great place to purchase gifts inexpensively. For quite some time, I have shopped Ebay for "new with tag" items that are priced $0.25 to a $5 with free shipping for gifts. Many times, I have paid $1.75 (with free shipping) for new scarves for family members and friends. I have yet to be disappointed with the quality! I make sure to only purchase items from sellers with a reputable reputation that accept returns. It can be a bit time consuming to search for these items but once you find that great deal, it's all worth it in the end!

Sounds great, I have never tried this. Sounds like you got some great deals! I am going to give it a shot. Free shipping rocks too! Thumbs up.:)
I agree that eBay is a good place to shop - especially if you are looking for a particular item.
I have found that I have to compare items total cost - item cost plus shipping - against item with free shipping - as everyone knows that shipping is never "free" but added to the price of the item.
However - some larger companies get special deals with shipping costs so they can better afford to give "free" shipping. There are many times newer sellers who list their items at a low starting price - thinking the bids will go higher and sometimes they have to sell at a very low price. These can be good bargains for yourself and gifts - especially if you plan ahead.
