I was with you until eBay! Unless something dramatically changed, eBay invented the shitty reseller business model when it began catering to power sellers and ignoring the multitude of scams in the market.

Ebay has evolved during the same time periods that Amazon has evolved, though my observation is that in the opposite direction toward increasing trust via transparency in the market. On Ebay, increased transparency is aligned with the common interest of trustworthy power sellers. Amazon has one power seller and increased opacity is in its interests.
