Has anyone ever use eBUY, not Ebay? Is it trustworthy?
« on: June 15, 2022, 07:53:11 AM »
Link to said website: https://ebuy.runsuper.life/

The only reason I ever know it exist is that I was looking for drawing reference. It do has a lot of My Little Pony and offer free worldwide shipping for purchase over $30. Those are attractive to me because it is less expensive than eBay, but why is it never brought up anywhere? I cannot access the site by typing "eBuy" in google. It just seem it doesn't exist unless typing exactly url.

If it does give out good shipping offer, then why does nobody ever talk about it? Is it a scam?

I've never heard of it either. It looks sketchy. Here's scam advisor's take.

Never heard of it, but just going off the name I'd be wary. Usually legit sites don't try and copy another well-known site's name so closely unless they're trying to fool you. The fact that it's so hard to Google also gives me pause.

my thoughts exactly. i took a closer look and i feel like "eBuy" might be sourcing their listings from other platforms & listing them at much lower prices to swindle people. i click on a listing and i cannot see a seller name or profile/feedback page anywhere- just the title, description & "Add to Cart".
thankfully i recognized one of these listings when i searched "G3 my little pony" and came across this keychain: https://ebuy.runsuper.life/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_98_103&products_id=88992&zenid=841sb20o1ru2lmqojl6utshsr6

SAME exact listing taken from pjscollection on Mercari: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m37901775807/

except the eBuy one is listed $3.50 cheaper. i would NOT buy from eBuy with this information at hand. looks like the domain was created only March of this year

I find interesting that ebuy is just a subdomain of runsuper(.)life
Going to just the root domain brings you a exact copy of ebuy but it says runsuper instead of ebuy.
It seems like a bot is scraping listings on legitimate sites and putting them on those sites at lower prices.
