      @Goddess_Amaterasu @bot001 yes, but not directly, I ordered from eBay and then got the order value refunded as they didn’t post anywhere on the auction that they were drop shipping. Hot tip 🔥: I do that every time someone does that from Amazon - I don’t give Bezos money if I can help it, and anyone not being clear on eBay they are drop shipping from a large competitor seller are breaking the TOS and deserve to get penalised.

      Yeah a handful of times over the years. Items arrived without incident and as advertised. Couldn’t fault it.

        Thanks bull! I’ve seen ads for it but have never used it before and the site seems to have something I need that I can’t seem to get elsewhere. Appreciate your input

        @brave @Goddess_Amaterasu *raises hand* yup, is basically mostly $2 shop type stuff, some good kitchen bits & bobs for cheap, best buy so far has been an under cabinet light which works flawlessly with motion detection for $12, and a really good plug hair catcher with excellent suction cups that I viewed dubiously when opening, for $1.50. A few things I haven’t found that useful or cheaper quality than images suggest.

      Yes. No issues at all. It’s a legit business based in Australia.

      Many many many times. There’s two parts - catch themselves, and marketplace. Catch ships insanely fast, and they will rip into any marketplace seller that tries to dodge you.

          It tells you. Also tells you if the seller is overseas. You can even filter your search results to Catch sold items only.

            Yeah what I initially saw was from google search then when I went on the official site I saw what she meant. Unfortunately the item I want is marketed

              Still good, i get marketplace stuff all the time. Catch still protects you, they will go after any seller that tries to rip you and forcibly refund no worries.
