Ebay.com is increasingly becoming a gamble.  Many are using the online
service(s) for making easy money, rather than selling a
legitimate product.  (eg. drug activity, other nefarious activities, ...)

Also, there's really no more Ebay.com customer phone support, likely with
Ebay.com simply relying upon Government for providing customer relief.
(Much like supposed corporations relying upon third party sold warranties,
rather than supplying the standard one year guarentee/warranty laws
require.)  Similar also occurring on Amazon.com, peopling using the
Amazon.com for selling products not fit for selling within local stores, at
retail cost versus the inflated price of good products.  (Also recently
reported via news media.)

Think when corporations allow such activity, they should no longer be
called a business.  Huge fan of Amazon.com, however they seem a little slow
sometimes.  With Ebay.com, good luck, as I think Ebay.com might be being
run entirely by AI, or explicitly by sellers.

Up until few a years ago, I had really good luck with getting working
products through Ebay.com, but once apparently phone customer service
ceased at Ebay.com, things might be getting far worse.
