i usually just use amazon, most new releases if there are enough pre orders it gets something like 33% off some prices are even with retail but others are cheap.

Futureshop.ca has free shipping, but about the same prices as they have in-store.

we opened an account just for online purchases. BankOne (in Michigan) has an account tied to a credit card. This way if anyone gets our info there is nothing to take. When we want to buy something online we just transfer the funds into our "online" account from one of our other accounts and our other cards and accounts are safe from prying eyes and/or thieves

Other people whoring the bids, more than just one person on any one item usually.

Also, there is an option that you can put your maximum price you're willing to pay.

Say the item starts off at $10 and you bid $13. Then you look back an hour later and see that the person bidded $15. You can then set a max bid that will automatically raise the person that is trying to out-bid you. So you set your max bid to $25. The thing will only increase your bid amount by the lowest intervall allowed by the seller. So now you have your max bid at $25 and someone goes and bids $18. It will automatically raise your bid to $20 (if it's a 2 dollar increment) and will keep raising it if someone tries to beat you. But it will only add more money up till the 25 dollar mark. If someone bids 26 dollars, then you will have to go in manually and out-bid them.
