Ebay is not better. I was in Spain and our servers were in a datacenter in the States. One of the HDDs in RAID1 failed, and the array was in the critical state on our master DB. It was critical correcting this failure as soon as possible. I ordered a new HDD from ebay from a seller with 100% positive feedback directly to the datacenter and organized remote hands there to install it. When RAID rebuilt, smartctl showed that the HDD has more than 40k powered on hours. I am afraid the days if high trust society, where services like ebay could function, are over.
