>eBay has its flaws too though, avoid Chinese megasellers like the plague.
This is a flaw with Amazon, not Ebay. Ebay makes the Chinese sellers very, very easy to avoid: you just look at the selection list on the left side, and click "US Sellers only" or "North American sellers only". Voila! No Chinese sellers in the search results. Amazon makes this completely impossible: it's very hard to tell where a product is being shipped from on Amazon, and usually you have to go through checkout to see the shipping times and infer from that.
