I've never used Amazon because when it got popular I realized the flaws in it already. 1. The buybox is disabled for traders that have different prices on other platforms. But: other platforms are way(!!!) cheaper than Amazon when it comes to fees. 2. Negative reviews magically disappear. Tried to prove a point by scraping some traders regularly that bid on the top related keywords but nobody cares at Amazon. 3. The search is messed up. There is no way to search what you are searching for. You always get spoofed with totally unrelated Chinese crap from Aliexpress. Even the keywords for brands are spoofed so much and they don't care about anything regarding trademark law. 4. Amazon Basics basically copying 1:1 existing items without any repercussion of trademark violations and/or design patents. There's lots of documentaries about it, how Amazon systematically pushes out and copies brands that are the best in their sector. So yeah, in Europe I'm glad I have an alternative when it comes to electronics and house hold stuff [1] and for everything else I am basically trying to never buy on Amazon. For some things there's websites like banggood and others which feel kind of like forefronts of aliexpress, basically. When I need electronics stuff from China, I'm using those...but it's very rarely. I am never buying clothes on Amazon. Not kidding you, already had radioactive metal in a package, alerted customs (German Zoll) and others. Nothing happened.
