In any way you know of. I find people here are more aware of politics and ethics behind big companies and this is what prompted my question but I’m also curious about any other differences.
I’m in Australia and I’ve only used Ebay and AliExpress so far. I find AliExpress has more variety and somewhat cheaper prices but I don’t know why or anything else.
When I first heard about Temu it was always in relation to dodgy products and sex toys so I didn’t pay much attention to it, however lately I keep hearing about people buying regular stuff without issues. Never tried it myself though.
Ebay might be owned by PayPal, but you are buying from real actual people. I’ve bought a lot of corporate surplus server equipment on Ebay. It’s not coming from a random supplier in China or a giant warehouse in the US. Most of my money (minus listing fees) is going to a small business that refurbishes old equipment.
I have bought equipment on Ebay and driven to a small recycling company one city over to pick it up in person.
It can be that way. But if something goes wrong, you’re screwed.
