Bought a small household item from a known-name online store. The item arrived in Amazon packaging. Checked the item on Amazon, it's half the price I paid on the non-Amazon store. I got fucking scammed lads. Even when you're trying to not buy from Amazon, you end up with Amazon. Contacted customer support 😐

@gargron oh that happened to me, I bought an STM32 development board on ebay and it literally came in an amazon package.
however, the amazon listing was uh, more than I paid for it, so I win i guess.
since then though i have been checking amazon to make sure it isn't cheaper

@Gargron
But that's like half of all of humanity's vocation - doing something for people that they could have done themselves, and charging a price for it. It's not a scam. It's just business as usual.

@Gargron So you got the bad of giving your data to Amazon and missed the good of buying at a better price.

@Gargron I bought my sister's Christmas present last year on eBay in order to avoid Amazon. It arrived in amazon packaging, just as yours did, and it was clear the seller had just bought it with my details in the postage and pocketted the difference. I was not impressed.
