Yeah, I've continued to use eBay to make some of the higher ticket purchases I used to make on Amazon. If you want to buy something quality used, it's hard to find an alternative, and frankly, buying something that's high quality and used is one of the best ways to make a purchase (IE instruments, clothing). Ebay's been good to me for nigh on 20 years, and it's not because everything is perfect quality. It's rather that, unlike Amazon, they don't try to hide and commingle differing quality items. Counterfeiting is still a problem, but giving negative feedback is still possible and it seems still encouraged in cases where it's warranted, and that makes the marketplace dynamics actually even out at scale. This is in stark comparison to Amazon, and it makes me trust eBay aggregate feedback scores much more on the whole. I'll use Amazon for low-risk purchases, but otherwise, I'll find another retailer these days. The risk of something going awry and receiving poor after purchase support is too high.
