best by who's opinion?.....Not mine bnwt....I went over and did a few searches for things I regularly buy.....and you're absolutely right....page after page of Chinese listings...so I click on Australia only...and get page after page of anything but what I'm looking for
The complete overuse of the term vintage for instance, (used by powersellers to waste our time clicking on their listings for 'Brand New' items)......since when did VINTAGE, mean 'Vintage Style', Vintage Look', Vintage Design' ????.......Vintage is generally something that is used to describe an approx era...i.e. 1950's vintage.......it refers generally to 1940's - mid 20th Century to maybe the early 80's....not five minute old mass produced powerseller garbage. so, all they have to do is include the word Vintage, and they spam every listing even moreso
And as for finding REAL collectible items...they are so few and far between and what there is, now so overpriced, it's not worth looking anymore. .......it takes ages to sift through pages and pages of listings, hoping to find just one or two that you might be interested in. I also notice that this new listing format is taking FOREVER to load...some listings I clicked on yesterday took so long, I clicked back out of them...
I said a while back, that Ebay had discriminated against me as a seller/collector, then they made their forums so punitive, they're not worth using...and now they've made buying so stressful, time consuming and unsatisfying that very soon, I'll also no longer be a buyer. In 18 months they've managed to alienate me in every way, shape and form.....and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
