90% of the shit on Amazon is just Aliexpress dropshippers at 20% markup, whom are mostly taobao resellers at 300% markup.
And about half of ebay is dropshippers from amazon.
I haven't ordered anything from amazon in years. But recently I got into a new hobby, read about it, found out what kind of tools and materials I need, and ordered a few things from ebay. About half of it showed up in amazon packages...
And most of Jeff Bozos wealth isn't even from Amazon, but from AWS. So if you wonna hurt his pockets, stop using the internet :/
