    It used to be the safe alternative to eBay… Nowadays maybe it’s the opposite

      Yep, just bought a new pixel directly from the Google store on Amazon. They shipped me a refurbished one that was carrier locked to Verizon. It’s been 3 weeks since I shipped it back and they still haven’t checked it in n for a refund. Prob never buying anything worth more 200 bucks from them again.

      I’ve seen so many Amazon drop ship listings on ebay. They don’t even use different pictures.

      I just got straight to the source on Ali for all my chinesium stuff, although if you don’t want to wade through the express it can be a chore. And express vendors can be as expensive as Amazon.

      Ebays not bad, especially for used gizmos. And anything important I just get it from a legitimate retailer.

      It really is. On eBay the seller has a rating. On Amazon the item has a rating. You’re just sort of randomly buying the thing you want and hope to get a good seller.
