eBay is also significantly more difficult and annoying to use than Amazon Prime.

I don't disagree with the morality argument, but Amazon has made things so incredibly convenient for the consumer.



Seriously. If it has that Prime mark on it, I know I'm getting it at a ridiculous speed, plus that 5% cash back on thus ugly old metal card that I used to like. Well, the cash back reward is still very nice.

I really wish I could switch to other online or brick and mortar vendors, but nothing executes as well as Amazon in my experience. I even tried ordering some computer parts from newegg and it was fine, but it felt like I was back in 2002 or so.


Most of the trinkets aren't needed fast, so I feel the experience is the same: click the buy button and the submit button.
