C'mon man! They got to pay for their worker's healthcare too! LOL

J/K. Ebay sucks eggs for selling.

I had bad experiences with Paypal(which is owned by Ebay) this past spring, and I have also cut all ties with both forever.

I'm ditching PayPAL too

But this isn't what did me in as I was still making a decent amount of money.

What did me in was a new Ebay policy that said "screw you sellers". They changed it so that if you got screwed by a buyer, you couldn't do jack @$*% about it. You could no longer leave negative feedback for the buyer for not paying where use to, if a buyer didn't pay they would get suspended until they paid and eventually banned if they did it too much. But oh, this was hurting the buying experience and buyers is where they make their money, horse @$*%. They also changed it so you still had to pay closing fees even if the buyer never paid. They just expected sellers to just eat the cost and relist (for a fee of course).

Now I avoid Ebay all together except for really hard to find items.

Ummm...Last time I checked you have to have someone willing to sell something first before you can have a buyer that can buy the item...so if this is what ebay really thinks about their customer/patron base then they won't last much longer with this attitude.

I just got an email from eBay saying that from now on with those eBay bucks certificates, if you don't make enough bucks to hit 5 bucks for that quarter, you forfeit them for that quarter. eBay just keeps going down the tubes...you would think they would want to keep people off craigslist and in their site but it seems to be the opposite.

That's my whole point.

I just sold a few items on Amazon and got raped way worse than ebay and paypal together. I'll stick with ebay.

You can't trade anything in to amazon, they are terrible on trade ins. The quality of the item that you choose never is agreed upon by them, I always get the item shipped back to me, I put it for sale on amazon, and I still make more $
