If it's the best place to buy a particular thing, then the pain is a
necessary element.

Fine, but then don't complain about the pain.

I have no complaints, as long as people stick to what they promise.
There's no compulsion to say you'll ship within (say) 2 working days, if
in fact you only ship once a week.

... and like in all marketplaces there is the good and the bad. If
you want to play then you take the rough with the smooth.

Of course, but it's not as universally rough as you seem to like to
think.

It's an unregulated E Commerce organisation. That's all.
It's regulated in many ways, although lots of folk don't realise it.
All the more foolish for not understanding the rules of the game.
So you admit it's regulated, then?

largely self regulated, which is tantamount to no regulation.

Still completely wrong.
