Sounds a bit like what's happened to ebay. But hey, when you get paid the per-item fees no matter what happens, why would you optimise for quality?

- bastawhiz 8y ago> why would you optimise for quality? Because people will start buying their goods elsewhere.
- ascii_only 8y agoWhere? If Amazon almost monopoly.
- thereisnospork 8y agohow are they a monopoly? everything amazon offers can be sourced elsewhere. They used to be my go to because they had good prices and convenience. I can no longer trust them to have competitive prices to my local brick and mortars and actually supply the product I am purchasing.
- volkl48 8y agoNo? Most vendors have gotten their online experience in reasonable order at this point. (In some ways, better than Amazon, because many aren't on the "marketplace" model and I don't have to sift a sea of crap). That is: Free or very low cost shipping and a reasonable UI. And for those with a brick + mortar presence, free in-store pickup with a pretty quick turnaround time on it.
- saiya-jin 8y agoThis statement can't be further from the truth. For example most things don't even deliver to Switzerland. Freakin' Switzerland. You want cheap gadgets for next to nothing, you go on ebay. You want quality, you shop in usual eshops.
