I swear to God you people on lemmy (and reddit) just find a few isolated stories and pretend like it's hard or dangerous to use Amazon lol.
I've ordered well over 50k over the years and have like two or three minor minor fuck ups. They are fantastic. That's why they are popular.
I used eBay for years buying everything from computers to expensive bikes. I even helped a friend who bought a car from eBay.
Now? Full of knock offs and scams. My last transactions were garbage designed to last long enough for a product photo shoot. Using any of these products for their intended purpose is a real safety risk and returns require a back and forth with automated systems designed to try to make you give up before you get any $$ back.
I haven't used eBay in ~8 and likely never will again. The thing about critical mass and network effect is it has as much (if not more) of an impact during a service's decline.
