To say Amazon is getting too much like eBay?

It's hard to sort the genuine products from the dross.

You read reviews and they're clearly for a different item than what's now being advertised so can't be trusted

It's too hard to find what I need and I often end up just buying somewhere else

maybe it depends what your looking for, i find many legit sites sell their product lines on amazon. clarks shoes, samsonite, briggs and riley just to name a few.
it may be last years model or not. i can't fault them for delivery and i really like their wrap option.
for now i'm still a fan.

Yes, now it's starting to compete with the likes of Temu and similar sites. They even have their own Budget app thing called Haul. It's just full of junk.

Yep it destroyed everything (book shops, individual shops) and now is serving us up cheap rubbish. Depressing!

I think we've all recognised clothes on amazon are stop gap clothes and rarely look like the pictures. As a taller person the trousers are always too short and sleeves on jumpers shrink. I've diverted baxk to more well-known brands from UK like M&S and Tu and it feels like a treat in comparison.

Yep, I was looking for a specific toy and the first load that came up were all nonbranded ones with random names. It's actually hard to find the thing you're looking for even when you're really specific in the search. Filters are shit too, they'll just show you anything.

Yep, it's so hard to sift through all the rubbish, and once you find what you need it's hard to know whether or not the seller is legitimate!

Agreed, it’s really annoying. I spend half my time checking who the sellers are.
