Frankly, I've always thought eBay was much better in the early 2000s when it was the wild-wild west and feedback was key to making sure you were dealing with someone trustworthy both from a sellers and buyers vantage. The marketplace sorted all that out far more efficiently than all of eBay's nit-picking and overbearing regulations and rules. Sure, a few more people probably got ripped-off, but so what. The lower cost of doing business more than made up for that. With 13% and shipping clipped off every sale, eBay in 2015 is but a distant shadow of its once greatness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
