Why is everything so cheap on Ebay?

[Ethan]

Generally it's not anymore since the online shops took over a lot of it. If something's cheap then often it's sourced directly from the manufacture (usually from Hong Kong), or more commonly, it's just used and the owners want rid of it. I only really use ebay as a last resort these days. I've had too many instances of inaccurate descriptions and scams so it becomes tiresome getting your money back after a while. As I rarely buy anything too expensive from there anyway, I always end up debating whether it's worth even going through the hassle of getting my money back. Lots of little things add up to a big thing though I suppose.
I think I may have strayed a little there.
