The problem with eBay

The users. Early on there were conscientous individuals with various items to sell. Indeed I purchased a number of old alcatel routers and various other pieces of hardware there until the riff raff hit that market.

I noticed the turd bird ex husband of my cousin on eBay "bidding" on his own listings to artificially raise the price.

At that moment I had the epiphany all is certainly what it would appear on ebay.

Then there are the others, who bought "new" equipment only to have it arrive damaged and nonfunctional. The unscrupulous eBay sellers will list something about as mirespresented as it can be and then it's your problem trying to resolve the issue to any modicum of fairness.

No, I no longer eBay. I don't utilize eBay because it is unworthy of my consideration.

Amazon is not any better with it's algorithm which prices the same item differently depending on where you are when you view it and who you log into their shopping cart as ...

Suffice it to say I stick with the big box stores anymore because of what the online markets have become.

Shame!
