[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1887568, member: 5233"]Here is the problem I have with this Tim...you sit there and talk about how bad eBay is because their fees are so high. You flat out called them "evil." But, because you are an "entrepreneur" you choose to sell certain items on eBay because it is more profitable. You don't need them...but you use them. The thing of it is...those fees are high because sales on eBay realize better prices than on other sites because of the number of people who see the ads. It's all about advertising. The more people that see the item...the more it should sell for. This is a basic business fact. Another fact is advertising costs money. It's very expensive and the more people it reaches the more it costs. That fact that some items are more profitable if sold on eBay is proof that using them is a benefit. Yes, you pay more there...but if your profit is covering the additional expense and then some, you are winning. The issue I have with what you are doing is complain about how bad they are...yet you are using their service and making a profit doing it. You are right...you don't "have" to use them...but you are better off doing so. You can't "have your cake and eat it too." You either don't like eBay's policies so you don't use them...or you accept them as part of doing business and you deal with them. You can't do both...and posting your items for sale with someone else's account isn't a solution to this dilemma.[/QUOTE]
