Indeed, I think that’s a critical difference that has likely protected eBay from this concern - and is an area where Amazon thought it could differentiate itself without risk of liability. The risk to eBay is that Amazon’s push on that front of deniability creates a backlash that imposes new constraints of disclosure and/or verification on eBay.
- cannonedhamster 7y agoeBay is a flea market. It's what that sell themselves as. You are knowingly purchasing used items and there's almost always a picture of the exact item you're getting and where it's being shipped from. Amazon by comparison is a black box of magic, only the magic smoke is toxic and you have no idea who to go to for redress. Amazon has gotten a free ride for years, screwingb both their sellers and buyers, making knock off products when it sees profit motive, it's time to pay the Piper.
