Personally, when I order something these days, it’s been on eBay. It kind of sucks though, and half of the packages still arrive in Amazon boxes anyway…?

Where do you liked to order stuff from, that’s not Amazon?

    There is nothing to compare except Walmart Marketplace.

    if your purpose is to avoid buying from billionaires, that’s not a good alternative. Walton family rarely gets named because their billions is spread across multiple people. The Walton family donated big to both Trump and Heritage.

    What you can do is open search for that item you want. Other options will pop up. You may find cool specialty businesses. In addition, you’re less likely to binge buy from browsing a wide market, like on Amazon or Walmart. Search, don’t go straight to the marketplaces.

    A friend wanted a foraging bag. I asked what they meant. They linked, drum roll: Amazon. I searched and found a cool bag via barebones instead. And stumbled on a bougie axe site called helko. Way more fun than Amazon.

    My point is, there are better ways than Amazon or Walmart Marketplace. I’m not saying you won’t buy from either, sometimes you’ll have to, but neither should be the first choice.
