I find that for a lot of "cheap junk from China" gets cheaper when you eBay it directly from China and cut out the cost of the Amazon middle man.

Recently I bought a chainsaw tool on eBay from China as I didn't want to buy a 6-pack for $10. I was able to buy a couple for about $0.20 more per unit. Sure, higher unit price and they'll be here slower but it's several $6ish saved.

ebay seems relatively competitive with aliexpress, sometimes even cheaper. amazon everything seems to cost much more

Amazon has free returns on almost everything, so if comparing prices for the same item, the cost of free returns has to be added.
