Personally, when I order something these days, it’s been on eBay. It kind of sucks though, and half of the packages still arrive in Amazon boxes anyway…?

Where do you liked to order stuff from, that’s not Amazon?

      So with EBay you have the problem of drop shippers they basicly buy it on Amazon up the price and send it directly to you.

      Is creglist even a viable option? i think Facebook Marketplace has basically destroyed their marketplace section.

      Buying through facebook is like saying dont want to buy from this bad guy and then straight up buying from the devil himself.

      Buying directly from the manufactur is always a good option unfortunately they dont have too many sales to not undercut their retail partners.

        I disagree about the ebay thing. I buy from ebay all the time and have not come across any noticeable drop ship items or an item marked up from what it is on Amazon. It’s honestly the opposite, I feel like ebay tends to be cheaper than Amazon. Ebay also let’s you know where the seller is located which is super handy and nice to know. Also a much better place to buy used.

        Yeah Craigslist still works fine. I just used it a few months ago to give away an old crt tv that was taking up way too much space.

        I hadn’t brought anything from Craigslist but I have heard online of some people still use it if that helps but I can’t imagine it being as popular with Facebook Marketplace existing.
