Is there a website like camelcamelcamel, only that it will look everywhere for a lower price, not only on Amazon? Better yet, is there such a website where you can exclude eBay from the search? ---

[Wikibuy](https://wikibuy.com/) purports to do this, at least that’s what their promotional stuff claims. I haven’t looked into it yet. ---

slickdeals is not automatic and it doesn’t necessarily have any recent deals on the item you are looking for. Still, you could do worse. These days I typically just check slickdeals, check Amazon, and for certain kinds of items, I check ebay. ---

There are a number of comparison shopping websites: > **[Comparison shopping website](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_shopping_website)** > > A comparison shopping website, sometimes called a price comparison website, price analysis tool, comparison shopping agent, shopbot, aggregator or comparison shopping engine, is a vertical search engine that shoppers use to filter and compare products based on price, features, reviews and other criteria. Most comparison shopping sites aggregate product listings from many different retailers but do not directly sell products themselves, instead earning money from affiliate marketing agreements. In... Note some of them have mobile apps or browser extensions. Google shopping is the one I usually use. However they usually make their profit from referral fees so are not complete. ---

Recently installed Wikibuy to try it out - it does include eBay links. I was looking at a cell phone and it had a hard time distinguishing the amount of memory on a phone I was looking for, and would find the wrong model. ---

I’ve tried a few of these, and the problem I found with most is they are subject to “keyword” spam so that you’re not getting good results. For instance, I’ll look for “I Love Lucy” videos and get all sorts of Lucy Van Pelt references and items.
