In the interest of honesty, I admit I’ve bought items off eBay from Chinese sellers too. Some such items cannot even be found, or at least readily from US sources, eBay or not. (I’d guess that either the Chinese sellers “got there first”, or drove out any US competition some time back.)
One still has to survive on the very “unlevel” playing field. In business, one has to find the quality that makes sense for the $$ and the market, or you die. But that doesn’t make the playing field “right”.
I prefer to buy American and will pay a small premium to do so, but not a huge one. A month ago, I bought a 2000 lumen flashlight from China for $3.88 including shipping.
Well the flashlight is closer to 200 lumen so they lied but it is still a bright well made flashlight for almost nothing.
I in fact just ordered another one a few days ago. 200 lumens is more than enough for most use and still much brighter than the old Ray-O-Vac 2D cell flashlights.
You say no US jobs created or money made in the US. That is totally incorrect.
Ebay makes money off them as does Amazon. Both of those companies actively recruit these sellers, and jobs at both of these companies have been created due to the increased sales. Even state sales taxes are collected in some states.
Any job that can be done overseas, will end up there in the digital world.
Free trade kills jobs and incomes in the more developed countries, the wealth transfers to the less developed countries. Ain’t globalization wonderful?
