This talking point is everywhere in this thread. But bear in mind that you have no clue whether two chargers (for example) are the same without disassembling them and checking. Noname Chinese manufacturers are very good at producing things that are superficially similar to other things. It does not mean that two widgets that look similar actually are.

The main difference with most physical stores is that those will accept responsibility for the stuff they sell, because otherwise regulations would put them out of business.

Frequently, the listing uses the exact same photo.

It's especially clear for clothes listings, as there's usually a model.

There’s apparently one model, and she has clothes photoshopped on her millions of times.

I’ve seen model photos of clothes that clearly doesn’t exist until after you place the order.
