Hamster has a very interesting description, but I believe that eBay offers similar services. I just often buy something there and I always come across some interesting developments of small companies. Hence, eBay also somehow helps the beginning manufacturers, and also therere of course a huge number of buyers.
Greetings. eBay doesnt have a purpose to contribute to the development of small companies as Hamster does. Yes, there are unique developments from DIY-companies, because developers simply have nowhere else to go. But because of the large number of different fakes, unique products are lost on eBay. Such a situation wont take place in Hamster.
