I’ve been ordering from Amazon less and less because of how flooded it has become with cheap crap at exorbitant prices. Every site that sells stuff on a broad scale is like this now. If you go to Etsy, you now have to carefully traverse sellers because there are tons on there now that sell AliExpress bulk items as expensive one-offs.
Search for a necklace on Etsy. Simple enough. Except now instead of each seller being an artisan that makes the item, you’ll get a list of items that can be purchased in bulk on AliExpress for $1-2 per piece. Sellers will buy stuff in big bulk purchases, and resell that same necklace for $50. They even go as far as making fake backstories for their stores.
So many online stores have been reduced to crap.
Enshittification at its finest. 🤬
Etsy is huge for this.
Filtering by domestic shipping helps a little.
