Amazon's modifications mirror similar actions taken by other major companies after Trump’s election victory, including Meta, McDonald’s, and Walmart

I have one outstanding order that is already out for delivery. Once I get that, I’m closing my amazon account. I’m done. Buy nothing. Vote with your wallet. Edit: account is closed. get bent Bozos.

    I only ask because I’ve had a very good experience with eBay over the past five years of using it as an Amazon replacement.

    I think one thing showed up damaged because it was poorly packaged, and they gave me a full refund.

    One lister sold me bootleg gameboy carts (which I should have noticed from the listing if I did an ounce of research), and they accepted a free return for a full refund.

    Probably the scammiest thing I see is people clearly just drop shipping from Amazon through eBay. Which is odd because it’s often for the most random things (like random bolts or whatever).

      Gotcha. I’ve been on eBay for 20 years so I thought I was pretty savvy.

      The power seller being able to remove negative feedback was new to me six months ago. Like you I’ve had mostly good sales happen. Been scammed on pc keyboards for $80 or something. Not a huge deal, but last year I ordered a car mirror from a seller in Las Vegas. The seller switched a damaged mirror for the one in the photos. That was the first issue and I should’ve just sent it back, but I had extra glass and thought I could make it work. I asked for a partial refund (which is a good way to satisfy both parties), but the seller said send it back. He took two weeks to ship and I returned it the very next day. No refund for two weeks and most of my correspondence were ignored unless I threatened to go to eBay. Then they contacted me outside of eBay by texting my phone. I ignored it and finally opened a dispute. eBay reviewed it and gave me my money back right away. I negged the seller and since I got my refund, they were able to request that eBay remove the negative feedback. Power sellers have that ability. I really felt others should know about them so I’ll call them out here. Andre’s performance in Las Vegas is best avoided.
