I personally don't use eBay anymore after realizing this stuff. It's better to order somewhere else. Honestly, Amazon has become far better recent years, so I mostly use this service to get various stuff. But sometimes there are things not available on eBay, so I have to find them on European platforms. Imagine how much shipping costs these days, that's insane! Anyway, I usually order this stuff via
china post ems and it appears to be the best way to track orders. Surprisingly, the waiting time is usually very short, so you don't have to wait months to get your order. Anyway, it'd be much more better to order things directly in the US, but maybe moving to the UK is better option, lol.
