I also use it for cheap OEM copies of Windows But yeah... it used to be a better service than it is now... it's full of scams these days, both buyer and seller.

I did of course get my PS5 on there because I gave up on monitoring proper sites for stock drops, but I have to admit I was nervous about spending that sort of money on there, right up until it arrived and was set up & working . Didn't help that the tracking on the dodgy courier they used kept randomly changing date/time, suddenly changed to a week long wait on the day it was meant to arrive, but then actually arrived the next morning .

I find that things aren't massively cheaper on there and then a lot of times delivery charges can be the same or more than whatever you're buying

Amazon Marketplace killed it tbh, especially if you have a Prime membership, a lot of eBay sellers list on there as well and you get free/faster delivery and (especially if you're a long term Prime subscriber) pretty much guaranteed protection from scams.

Like I know I know Amazon is wrecking the world but you just can't argue with the service. We bought a freesat box recently, turned out to be a bit crap, requested a refund with the only reasoning being "it's not very good" and had a full £200 refund in my bank before I'd even sent it back .

In all seriousness though it's NOT very good. Don't buy one. 2/5.

I used to shop a lot on Amazon but since ye left the EU it's cheaper buying here (which I suppose isn't a bad thing for our own economy)
