There IS a reason Ebay is cheap, you get cheap stuff, cheaply made, a dumping ground for not even seconds but often thirds in "quality" and plain cutting room floor junk that was supposed to be scrapped..
This is not accurate in even a generalization of products sold on E Bay.
A buyer may find that many E Bay vendors also sell through Amazon.
You don't need to respond but I'm guessing you had some bad experiences when purchasing through E Bay.
I think EVERYONE has had at least ONE "bad experience" with EBay..
MOST folks however will NEVER "admit" to having a problem..
BUT, take a good hard look at many of the posts on this forum that typically start with "I am having a problem.." then somewhere in the body of the post will state "bought it from Ebay.." Hmm.. I wonder as to why they are having a problem?
If Ebays policy is so "good" they WHY is the OP HERE POSTING THERE PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH EBAY????
Folks treat Ebay as if it is the first place to go for COMMON everyday items that are in production (LEDs ARE COMMON EVERY DAY ITEMS THAT ARE NOT HARD TO FIND)..
It is not, and any person who is in the business of manufacturing something WILL say the very same thing I am saying..
Businesses do not buy from Ebay to build their items, instead they search for RELIABLE SOURCES of raw materials, not an auction house (IE EBAY).
There ARE plenty of more reliable sources for electronic parts, you just need to do a bit more leg work in searching..
Ebay is a place to go when you are looking for say a piece of chrome for a 1950 auto, or perhaps a hard to find in working order antique item that has been out of production for say 100 years.
Relying on Ebay for modern day electronics or most other still in production items is pretty much playing roulette with your time and money..
You ARE more than welcome to continue on.. But some day, you to WILL find yourself with the very same problem as the OP..
