Do people not realize you can get pretty much everything you can get on Amazon on eBay and frequently for cheaper or without the “You have to buy $35 worth of stuff to get free shipping” clause? Or same with Costco for a lot of stuff for that matter.
Just make a conscious choice not to feed the troll.
I stopped buying off eBay after I fell for a well made scam listing and they made it literally impossible to contact a human being so I had to file a charge back. Mind you, this was after they nuked the scammers account AFTER I paid for the order, so they knew they were scamming, didn’t reach out at all, and tried to make it impossible to do anything about it.
Fuck eBay. They know damn well they’ve got scammers, and more importantly, they’re perfectly happy to keep their cut after the scam is over. I’ll only buy off eBay as a last resort if I need it and can’t get it anywhere else.
I like eBay - you can find and support good small sellers (people who are similar to you, just every day regular people). What made you stop shopping at Amazon out of interest? For me it was learning how Amazon treat their employees and union organisers. The pissing in bottles, the leaving the dead man lying on the floor and making people woe to around his corpse. The making people come in during a hurricane. This was 10 - 15 years ago (way before the Ring camera and AWS stuff came out); a buddy of mine get a job in an Amazon distribution centre (UK) and did 47000 steps in one shift. Some horror stories from there. So far eBay seems like the better option IMHO

Damn that sucks, sorry you got scammed. :/
I’ve e had pretty good luck so far. About the worst experience I’ve ever had was people shipping me things in a knotted plastic grocery bag lol.

Right Ebay, another one of those very ethical companies.
I bet you make very good conscious choices
Where has ebay not been ethical?
FedEx and UPS are supposed to do the same.
shipped flour and canned goods?
Haven’t tried either of those. Might have to go into a Costco for 7 like that?
Don’t feed the usa
