I dunno, I stopped a while back, it wasn't hard really. I've also heard that while they are usually fine with regular sums of money they are not to be trusted with large sums. Just word of mouth an I've got no proof but it put me off.
There are some examples of buyers exploiting the returns policy for expensive items. The buyer initiates a return of item but never sends it, gets item and refund.
Deleted my ebay account but very rarely will buy on it. I've yet to find a UK alternative.

I haven't trusted LTT for about 5 years now.
Agreed. I remember enjoying their workshop videos a long time ago, but they can't even be trusted for PC building info, much less anything else.
Why do I feel like mentioning the LTT was very personal?๐
They're one of the largest tech media companies and deliberately chose to sweep this under the rug instead of reporting on it. Then they took sponsorships from Karma, which is a competitor to Honey that does the exact same thing.

Ever since it was explained that Mr. Beast only smiles with his mouth, I get skeeved out every time I see him.
Shit! You are right. Thats horrible. And explains why he freaks me out.
Mr. Beast is completely creepy.

Mr Beast literally shadow banned the word teeth from his YT comments. It's hilarious.
