MY OPINION ABOUT EBAY
MY DEFINITION OF EBAY
I don't care how pretty the website is or how many colorful special effect ads floating around the site, Ebay is just one big yard sale. There's no way a garage could hold all that junk. One man's junk is another man's treasure. It's up to you to find the treaures you seek on Ebay. Go foward, your journey awaits you. Oh well, at least you don't have to worry about postponing on the rainy days.
SO MANY EBAY FEES
If you ever sold anything on Ebay, you already know about the long list of fees. If you are new to Ebay, please read the fine print. It's very easy to cut into half your profits with all those fees. I have listed a few explanations to get you started. Don't forget your reading glasses.Click here for Ebay's Main Fee Page
Classified............ Same as insertion fee but different layout
Final Value.......... 8.75% of the price of item sold (ouch)
Insertion............. Price Ebay charges to list your items
Paypal................ Third party payment processor that Ebay uses to pay you
Real Estate......... This fee has its very own section
Store................. Monthly subscription fee based on your production
Transaction......... Fee charged when listing vehicles
NEW SITE WITH NO LISTING FEES!

I'm freaking sick of ebay the last two purchases I've made were misrepresented and i've had to go around and around with the sellers. And a word to the wise don't buy anything from Recoupit on ebay. They sold me a "working Dell computer" but failed to list that the computer had no floppy drive or cd rom thingy. I contacted them and they got all upset and finally after a week of emailing them, I told them I wanted a refund. I didn't here from them until today (four work days after asking for my money back) They were a little on the rude side when responding to my emails, I was trying to be nice at first about it, ya know get everything sorted out, and get on with my life. The moral of my story :ebay has gone to hell in a hand basket and most of the sellers on ebay are lying theives. Sorry about venting.

[Exactly - I have thought I was going to have funning selling on ebay, only to have become very frustrated with their acquizations that I am selling counterfeits. I have offered to show receipts. I ask questions and get only generic answers. I took a survey today that they sent me and I rated then very very low. Next thing you know, I have been blocked until I take a tutorial. Which I had already taken before. I guess they didn't like my answers. It is very clear that they do not care about the people that are helping them make money by using ebay. I think I am going to take my business elsewhere.
