I’ve reduced my usage of Amazon significantly since they made it near impossible to filter out 3rd party sellers. I have no interest in eBay 2.0.

- Xenoamorphous 4y agoeBay? More like Aliexpress.
- atlasunshrugged 4y agoAgreed, the only thing I buy from them anymore are books because I know what I'm getting (that said, trying out Bookshop to support local bookstores but they're often more expensive)
- disantlor 4y agothat price difference is being externalized somehow, so, if it's possible (and of course it's not for everyone) it's best to just pay the higher price imo. it's better for society and the neighborhood
- JohnFen 4y agoYes. I've reduced my Amazon usage to zero, with no ill effects whatsoever.
- 88913527 4y agoIt's intriguing how many marketplaces have adopted this model. There must be some short-term optimization occurring.
- dpkirchner 4y agoIt's an easy way for them to become "the everything store" without risking anything but their brand (and in Amazon's case warehouse capacity).
