What's your experience with...

Ebay?
Amazon?
Alibaba?

What do you like the least about them?

[CaptHayfever]

I've used eBay a few times. Mostly it's just frustrating getting outbid for something you really wanted, especially by a bot that just auto-bids at the last second.
Amazon's business practices are the worst thing about them, hands down. I shop there, but I try to only go there if I can't find the thing I want anywhere else first.
Never heard of Alibaba.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

eBay is fun if you kinda want something and don't mind being outbid, or if you want a quick and easy way to find something because it's probably on there.

Amazon is more practical than eBay but I prefer Walmart over it. I hate the site, it's a disorganized mess, though so is Walmart's. They could learn a thing or two from eBay in that department.

Alibaba is one I never used but it's a cool site with interesting things, I look around the site occasionally. Unlike Amazon and eBay (and most big companies) it doesn't spew its social views at its customers, just sells you stuff. Fancy that.

I think eBay has the best user experience too, returns are easy. If you get something from Amazon I've found returns a hassle, though that was years ago.

Well, I'm a little biased, since I work for Amazon. I get a small employee discount (10%, up to $100 per year), and, aside from the lengthy commute, it is probably the best job I've ever had.

I haven't bought anything from eBay in years. They do have interesting things, and I never had a bad experience, even with international sellers.

I use Amazon, but a bit less than I used to. I just watched 'Coherence' on Prime Video this week. There's good stuff on there.

I prefer not to use eBay. Seems like a bigger risk getting ripped off somehow, but maybe it's fine.

I'm not really familiar with Alibaba.

^...I don't know what you're trying to say. I got my job at Amazon to have a job, not to steal things. I don't steal things.

^^ Kind of funny story there. Seems like a real hassle just for the sole purpose of stealing one game.
