It’s amazing how much excitement some tiny bubbles can add, isn’t it?

You know what bothers me?

Adapted from a post by @werehatrack.

Trying not to buy crap on Amazon and still getting crap from Amazon.
@Irk |  | 8:07 PM
Now, I get why an online seller might not want to handle packing and shipping their own stuff, I really do.
@Irk |  | 8:08 PM
The whole pack-and-ship process is a chore at best and mind-numbing at worst.
@Irk |  | 8:09 PM
But these people aren’t just using Amazon as their fulfillment warehouse. Oh no, they’re flat-out listing Amazon items for sale on places like eBay and then ordering it with their Prime account to send it straight to me!
@Irk |  | 8:10 PM
All to skim whatever slim margin they can off the top, and maybe get another 5% on their Rewards card or something. I don’t know.

Entrepreneurial, you say? More like brainless arbitrage.

Sure, I could just shop on Amazon and find a better deal than what I’m getting from these alleged “sellers,” but the whole point was not to use Amazon.
@Irk |  | 8:13 PM
I could always head over to something like Walmart’s online store, sample an older flavor of retail hell, but even there I still end up getting something with an obvious Amazon tracking label!
@Irk |  | 8:14 PM
This modern e-marketplace just ain’t shaping up to be the utopia we were promised, or maybe I’m just too much of a frustrated idealist.
@Irk |  | 8:15 PM
Maybe I should just suck it up and find local sources for things I need instead of always shopping online.
@Irk |  | 8:16 PM
If I could manage that, then maybe, just maybe, this bothers me more than it should.
