--- Quote from: Bud on February 08, 2021, 05:58:14 am ---After several minutes of looking i still do not know if it is an worldwide or US-only gizmo. No item location is listed and shipping is all given "to" the US. --- End quote --- So I took a quick peek. For everything I looked at, it showed me price in GBP, and it did indicate where the items ship from (either China or USA for what I looked at). The highest transaction count I saw for any seller was around 250, in contrast to the sometimes hundreds of thousands I see on Ebay. For some items I tried searching for, it more-or-less admitted defeat, and offered results from "partner sites", which was really only one site, which was none other than Ebay. WTF? |

It did not make any specific mention of Australia, but then it seems to be confused as to where I am (and I did not look for some way to tell it). For quite a few items worldwide shipping was mentioned. For one item it said something like "no shipping option for GB". I'll also include an image showing it pointing me to "partner" Ebay. Goodbye Bonanza, hello Ebay? |
