  I’ve bought the occasional book from it. It doesn’t seem that useful or good value for other things (I’ve lived in Europe and Australia)

    My problem is the algorithm. There is no way to browse categories and drill down into the features to find what you are actually looking to find.

    You search for xxx company Product, and you may get that product on the first page, but it will be surrounded by dozens of cheap alternatives. I find a lot of those alternatives aren’t comparable to the one I actually seek.

    If you don’t know the specific product you are looking for, you will never be able to sort the wheat from the chaff.
