        That’s the hardest part of quitting. Looking for simple shit the top 10 search results are usually all Amazon. And after that the next 30 results are equally bad retailers. IDK how awful eBay is but that’s where I often buy things from, and even then the product probably came from Amazon anyway.

          ebay is effectively unusable where I live, 0 local adoption, which means everyrhing is shipped overseas, which means crazy fucking shipping fees
