in my experience. Tried EBAY a few times. Every time it summed up as ME posting stuff and paying to post it and getting NO sale. I now use Craigs list exclussively. Sold my car through Craigs few months back took 3 days and got like multiple calls from real buyers. Craigs was way Cheaper AND much better results - made it a nobrainer. Anyone says different must be an investor or employee of EBAY. This seller never using Ebay again ever.

It's ironic that some people fault E-Bay for "being greedy and making money," when in fact it's the people who use E-Bay to try to sell their wares who are "being greedy and making money." I guess if a business tries to maximize their profit, it's bad, but if a private citizen tries to do the same, then that's how capitalism works.

Ebay has gotten greedy and is also trying to FORCE everyone to use PayPal to get more money from the seller. J K

Absolutely agree, The fees make it largely unprofitable to sell anything anymore. It's also the reason you see a lot of items with a value of $65.00 selling for $1.00 but carrying freight charges of $60.00. You don't pay fees on the freight. It's against ebay policy, but everyone does it (even though ebay encourages you to turn violators in through the new feedback system). It's also become a haven for Phishers and Nigerian Scammers. Ebay can't end the fraudulent auctions fast enough. They've definitely lost their lustre. I hardly buy or sell anything over there anymore. The've just become GREEDY.

I hope eBay goes to HELL!! They are like Wal-Mart in every sense. Profits, profits and more profits. The employees/sellers can get lost as far as either of the companies are concerned. It is truly all about the money.
