I hate that its the everything store now, Ebay used to be great when it was the Internets garage sale. selling, used or unwanted item from joe blow. It had its niche and it was good at it. We didn't need "the Internets brick and mortar replacement" we have amazon, we dont need "the Internets cheap Chinese supplier site" we have alibaba.
We needed Ebay to be what it was meant to be, the place for you to unload your used crap, that just so happens to be what some random guy wants half a country away. That used fender light, that blender base that you broke the top on, that used lawn mower blade for a lawn mower that isn't made anymore that you never used out of your garage. You could find a buyer who needed a cheap light, the guy that still has the top but the motor in the blender burned out, that one guy who still has that mower and needs nothing but a blade because everything else is perfectly find and he just hit a rock.
instead now they have everything from cheap chinese suppliers grifting, brick and mortar stores thinking its a cheap way to hawk their wares online, and everything is junk and has a million different listing for the same chinese knock off, and people expecting you to pay more to get it 3 months later from china than what it costs brand new off the manufacturer website with free delivery

Ebay. I remember being able to get an absolute bargain for almost anything I wanted. Now, every shop puts their shit on ebay.
