Sometimes you want one of those Chinese paper cutters, or reasonably priced leather tools. Ebay is mostly good, despite itself. They've also barely changed the UI in my memory, and I've got a 20 year old account.

I will agree on that. If I want a random thing, there will be the same product dropped shipped on both sites but usually ebay comes out a few dollars cheaper.
