My point is that I don’t search for or subscribe to communities, though. Instead I browse all and mute communities I’m not interested in. This is much harder to do on global all.

In my view this isn’t a problem that needs to be fixed, it’s just something new users have to get used to.

It’s also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.

Good point. The prices are much lower on the direct Chinese sites, too. If you want you can even go the other direction and pay 10-15% more by buying from Amazon drop shippers on ebay.

One of the only nice things about Amazon is the return policy in the first thirty days. Sometimes those cheap knockoffs are worth the $8.
