ebay's usps shipping may not be as fast as prime but it's fast enough for me.

I wonder how ebay treats their workers. I'm trying to find a good alternative but ebay is the next best competition basically.

eBay doesn't have workers, it's a marketplace that facilitates transactions between sellers and buyers

There are a few specialized programs ebay runs (card vault, authenticity guarantee, international shipping dispatch) where they do have direct employees - not very many I'll grant you. From everything I've been able to find out, they're treated at-or-better-than the average for warehouse gigs, and the skilled staff are treated like cattle (but cattle where the rancer knows the beef tastes better if the cows are happy and have those cute brush things)

I thought they have distribution centers like Amazon. Amazon also has sellers and buyers, though most of it is sent, stored, distributed by Amazon.

yeah definitely not. When you sell on eBay you're entirely responsible for how your item gets to the buyer (I've done it). The closest you'll get is paying eBay for a shipping label.
