"eBay gets away with selling random junk from random sellers, how can we get a piece?"

[wyre]

I’ve had much better experiences getting what I order from eBay than I have from Amazon. Random junk is fine, but I at least want it to be the random junk I ordered.

I order a lot of new-old-stock auto parts from eBay. Best of both worlds while it lasts.

Yeah, the good thing about eBay's design is that their listings are (mostly) seller-centric rather than product-centric. There's no dice roll (or obfuscation) of where the product comes from when you order a product. The feedback rating that you see above the fold on the majority of listings is the seller's feedback.
