<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 902047, member: 15199"]So many people ( especially sellers ) dislike Ebay, for diverse reasons, but still stay with it, because with all of the defects, there is no better alternative. And none likely in the near future. 5 years ago, it was a different story, they could have been had, but all who tried were not out to make things better for the buyer/seller, they were out to imitate or modify the model for their own financial gain. Ebay had to make the internal decision to strengthen the buyer side or the seller side. They knew that they could strengthen the seller side and lose the customers and fail, or they could strengthen the buyer side ( which I believe they have ) and the sellers would have to stay, because without buyers, they fail. Sellers may quit, but others will replace them. Many businesses have 30 day billing cycles of receivables/payables, so 21 days doesn't seem too much except for bullion, where remorse could set in after a sudden change in value.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
