It’s been ages since I’ve really done some deal hunting online with how ubiquitious Amazon is I’ve realized I’m not up to date with the current ecosystem for finding trustworthy online storefronts. Do you have any sources/tips for finding good quality products (especially with all the AI slop that exists nowadays)?

    Not high just someone that uses eBay and has had good results. There’s no perfect option in capitalism.

    “Approximately 71% of eBay purchases come from listings that offer free shipping.”

    I’ve had great results and I chose to share them, what’s your suggestion then?

      I guess the experience of Ebay in the US is completely different from the experience of Ebay outside the US.

      As for alternatives to Amazon, in my country there’s bol.com. Shopping local is also a good idea. Don’t buy groceries at amazon, but instead in grocery stores.

      Then there are thrift stores. It’s better to thrift than buy new.

        Thank you for the insight, that sounds like a great option!

        I never considered the experience could be different based on where you buy from. My apologies for any confusion.

        My experience with eBay in the US is also, more often than not, with free shipping. I’m not sure what items you’re looking at but there are tons of options with free shipping
