eBay is in itself an enshitification. Pushes Paypal which steals ppls money by using a fraud check swindle. eBay pushes JavaScript that port sniffs your LAN. Probably exploits your data to the max.
Of course it’s easy for me to flip the middle finger to eBay when I live in a city. Rural dwellers probably don’t have decent local flea markets and street markets, where I buy most of my goods. If it’s going to be junk quality, it might as well be cheap and not feeding the ecocidal retail maketplace.
I live in a city and can hit several nice thrift stores within walking distance of my apartment. The problem I find is that if I’m trying to build a specific look, it really hit or miss at the thrift stores and much easier to find exactly the piece I want on ebay.
