I think of it like a garage sale, you may find a treasure but there’s going to be some digging required.

I buy quite a bit of stuff on EBay and have never had an issue. Including used auto parts that can definitely be hit or miss. I stick with highly rated sellers that have a return policy. Unlike FBMP you also have some recourse in terms of EBay mediation and ratings.
I thought I was the only one that would get those stupid thirst trap prom dress/mirror listings... lol That's the reason I'm off all social media, stupid stuff I don't want to look at.

As for OT, eBay and Amazon is full of counterfeits. Even the products priced within the correct price range are questionable if they're not authorized reseller(s).
