eBay is not actually an online store, but rather a place to advertise mostly second-hand goods at reduced prices. It's like bidorbuy.
Amazon is an online store and would fit all the descriptions you need.
Wantitall is based in S.A. and imports products internationally. This could reduce costs like handling fees and customs costs.
Ubuy, I don't know what it is and too lazy to Google for it :)
 
Far too vague a question and random a list.
What do you want to order etc.

In bulk?
Seems like an odd thing to buy abroad & incur all the shipping fees when you could buy it locally. Presumably it's not some special equipment?

From my experience importitall (it's also South African) is cheaper than wantitall, best compare prices.

As to your question, Amazon is solid all round. eBay will have long shipping times (unlike Amazon) as your stuff will go through the Post Office (unlike Amazon). Do you trust the PO these days. Like has been said, eBay just hosts a bunch of individual sellers, so I guess you could ask them to use a courier to avoid going through the PO.
 
Amazon is #1 as they are fast, they calculate taxes and import duties
eBay are ok, I guess - their buyer protection is great

Havent tried the others and reason below
Wantitall is bloody expensive
Ubuy - because I buy mostly from Amazon

I would have bought locally but this product is only available at Wantitall and not anywhere ells in South Africa.

That's more Gumtree and Olx. eBay and bidorbuy are marketplaces which means they're a hub for other sellers. Mostly new stuff.
 
I buy regularly if not often from Amazon UK, with no issues except when it was a 3rd party supplier and hectic import duties TO the UK were applied. I have used Importitall without issues.
