I'm Canadian and i used to use ebay quite regularly somewhere around 10 years ago.. At some point - it became glaringly obvious that nothing on ebay was worth it anymore. I could buy 99% of what I searched for cheaper on Amazon or other e-commerce sites - brand new to boot. So I'm always blown away when i occasionally check the site for hard to find products and still find them because the realization hits me... People are still using ebay. Blows my mind. Maybee it's different in the states.. But in Canada - it's far from being worth it. PayPal on the other hand - might have high fees.. But I've been using it from its beginning.. I've GOT to have 1 or 2 thousand transactions and the odd time i had a problem with an ebay seller back when i used that garbage service - PayPal got me my money back.

Hello I'm not an electrical engineer - but I am a journeyman electrician - and we do learn about batteries to a certain extent in school. I'm just providing this for context. There are quite a few battery compositions that perform better, charge more efficiently, and last a lot longer if you avoid harsh duty cycles (drawing down to near zero capacity) and then charge them up to bursting capacity which is why we use battery chargers that detect when you're above a pre-determined charge threshhold (like 80-95%) and slow down charge rate dramatically to avoid over-charging. People are so quick to judge - with not a second of thought regarding "i wonder if there's a reason..."
