<p>[QUOTE=&quot;umtrr-author, post: 328071, member: 5719&quot;]I agree with Doug&#039;s take that eBay was founded for the &quot;little guy&quot; and that was true outside of coins as well.&nbsp; But as rules continue to &quot;evolve&quot; and &quot;new pricing&quot; continues to be imposed, I think the balance is tipping more and more towards a bias to power sellers.&nbsp; And as with every other large group, there is good and bad in that group.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Between ever increasing fees and ever increasing postage rates, I think that the marginal small transactions are being squeezed out-- it&#039;s just not worth the hassle.&nbsp;&nbsp; (It already wasn&#039;t worth it at more expensive venues, as has been pointed out.)&nbsp; I haven&#039;t sold anything on eBay since 2005 and I don&#039;t expect I will anytime soon.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also find myself looking there less and less, as the bad continues to slowly drive out the good in several categories I check and the extra shipping and &quot;handling&quot; makes items I might be interested in less and less of a good deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line for me is that eBay has &quot;jumped the shark&quot; and if I knew enough other folks feel the same way, I&#039;d be shorting the stock.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
