Well, I always search for items that are physically as close to me as possible, and I'm not looking for the cheapest price for anything. If I'm buying from eBay, it's because I couldn't find the item anywhere else (except Amazon, which I only use if eBay doesn't have it).

The lack of reviews doesn't bother me at all, as my experience is that reviews are worthless anyway.

So, I guess it entirely depends on how you're using eBay and what your goals are.

When I want to pay the lowest amount humanly possible: Ebay (or maybe even Aliexpress).

When I need it tomorrow: Amazon.

At least in Canada, there isn’t much in-between on the massive marketplaces.

That seems like a fair number of caveats to be "same as any other retailer".
