    The other day a friend went to a physical bookstore to buy a book (support your locals). The book was out of stock but no problem, they could order it for her. The other day she went to pick it up, it was still in the Amazon envelope lol.

      I bought a silicone soldering mat on ebay a few months ago, deliberately bought it on ebay to avoid Amazon. It was delievered by Amazon, in an Amazon envelope, the ebay seller had just used their Prime to have it delivered to my address, and charged an extra couple dollars over the Amazon price. Wasn’t very happy about it, but what a hustle that person is running.

        That would’ve pissed me off, and I would’ve contacted eBay support and gotten it refunded. I dont use eBay to buy shit off amazon.
