I tend to find ebay less shady than Amazon these days, which is a bit disapointing really.
Ebay is no less shady. Buy something(from China) that takes a long time to arrive, reviewing is disabled. Ebay is junk.
How long is your stuff from China taking to arrive?
People. Stop making '20 calls' about this sort of thing. If you get ripped off by a corporation, you call once. Take notes. Maybe call twice. At most, three times. Show you made a decent attempt. If you're in a one-party consent state, record it. Then call your lawyer , who will send a demand letter to Amazon legal. If that doesn't get an answer, you go to court. If you can't work something out, you go to court. The…

AliExpress is less shady. If only they had customer service and a decent UI.
I recently dealt with a merchant in Aliexpress who was intentionally selling things well below market price, not to build their storefront reputation, but to collect sales and then ask the customer to cancel. I forced them to cancel the order, which harms their rep. Literally every unmanaged, user content controlled platform devolves into the basest scams, thuggery, and unpleasantness.

I only had good experiences with the customer service. Do they wanna have long conversations? Nope. But they are quick to just give you a refund.

Rep: "Refunded"

Amazon could easily solve this problem if they wanted to. They just don't want to.

I think Amazon is catching on. I had this happen last week, and after the 2 days late, Amazon sent an automated apology with the option to cancel if it didn't show up after the third day.
I'm not sure that's "catching on". One would think that if they can't reliably offer a service, they shouldn't be offering it in the first place.

That costs a lot of effort, time and money, all of which are in short supply nowadays.
Wasting 2 months not getting any sales is far more costly than spending a few grand on a lawyer.

I have ordered items on eBay just for the seller to order it on Amazon and send it to me that way. Just happened to me this week with club bells/Indian clubs.
