So I made a post recently about my new commitment to Privacy. I’ve made the choice, that I’m going to delete my Amazon. Before I do though I would like some feedback on alternatives, and more privacy friendly places to buy things

    I have to disagree with you on eBay. They’re extremely far from an ethical company, they also own the scourge of small financial transactions, PayPal. They also own Kijiji and GumTree. I’d say you should go with Craigslist when possible if you’re trying to buy used but eBay owns shares of them too. Not as bad as eBay itself, but obviously still not ideal so IDK.

      Craigslist is dying in some places, with people using facebook’s marketplace instead. Also, I’m not saying eBay is an ethical company, but they are an alternative to Amazon.

        Honestly, if your options are Craigsist, Facebook or Ebay, I’d go with Craigslist. If it’s Ebay or Amazon, then yeah, Ebay is the lesser of two evils.
