Internal emails revealed in court and interviews with ex-employees describe how Amazon’s practices drove up prices for competitors like Walmart and Target. Amazon denies price-fixing claims and says it works to lower costs for consumers
Ok but literally read the article. I don’t use amazon, but I have the wherewithal to understand that I’m privileged enough to afford the price hikes amazon is putting on me for not using them. Not everyone can, though. And it was already bad 20y ago when Walmart held the same advantage.
They’re looking for remote desktop stuff like VNC. It’s a thing for people to make accounts in good standing, and then sell access to it. Or get hacked. The scammer remotes in and does everything under the clean eBay account from their normal IP to not raise suspicion.
Half the shit on Amazon is used or open box now anyways. Might as well get a discount and get it on eBay, Craigslist or other cursed marketplaces like FB or Nextdoor.
Stop making excuses. Stop buying from Amazon.

Start thrifting and buy from eBay instead
Ebay suuuuuuuuuuucks. We should go back to craigslist, but in a less get victimized way.
EBay uses javascript quirks to port scan your PC any time you visit it.
That’s outrageous, to what advantage?

ebay isnt as cheap as it sounds, often time i compared between amazon, they are either about the same or mroe expensive.
Bruh, that sucks

This. Half of it is just marketed crap anyway. Keep your money and stop buying shit you don’t really need.
