content: In all honesty, you are probably better off using Facebook marketplace for selling stuff, unless you want to reach international customers or you have something niche to sell.Downside, you need to use Facebook.

content: eBay is full of crazy people nowadaysTo summarize, I paid for two hard-drives described as "in working order", and I received two damaged units because poorly packaged. But the seller not only has not even tried to find a solution (return? refund?) for the problem he has himself caused, he also found reasonable to insult.Quotelousy crook? liar? sure, hard-drives arrived damaged, but a thin layer of protective bubble in a soft envelope is "adequate" for this kind of goodsI gone tired of this kind of person on eBay.

content: Ever been doxxed on eBay? Then have every person you call at eBay start the conversation by blaming you for the doxing? That was not a good week.Triple  at all of the popular options, including eBay. I'm never seeling on it again, as bad as it sounds I now prefer to bin equipment

content: Quote from: SilverSolder on February 01, 2021, 02:34:45 amSeems to be a new thing. I used to be able to interact with ebay for weeks, perhaps months between logins. Now it seems to forget who I am every time I navigate to a different section of the site.

content: Quote from: Ed.Kloonk on February 01, 2021, 01:58:37 amwell, as buyer Amazon protects me more, as seller it costs me less money than eBay and offers a better logistic services, and doesn't force me to use Paypal.so I see it as a good alternative.

content: I've noticed Google Craptcha ( I am not a robot) has gone. I can log in with out the game of finding crosswalks and bicycles, every single time. Maybe some smart ten year old figured a way of using the Google Lens image recognition app, to identify buses and fire hydrants?

content: Quote from: DiTBho on February 01, 2021, 07:33:49 amBoth have strengths and weaknesses, depending on the product - I usually end up checking both!As a buyer, I think Amazon search is weak, eBay is "ok". Amazon seems to always show way too many irrelevant results and I haven't found a way to exclude search terms.
