<p>[QUOTE="tammiGee, post: 3206751, member: 98133"]Didn't seem to have as much to do with my pix and descriptions. but I guess the quality of buyers are just not there anymore. I started with them in 94 or 5 when Ebay opened before there was Paypal; I've sold gold when that was the thing to sell, same with silver and collectables. I sold over 2300 units of Honda generators the year after hurricane Sandy. Its the ghost salesmanship that is difficult to achieve quality results with online as opposed to a Trade show floor or a convention. I go in during a 10 day auction and tweek things maybe offer a bonus to adjust for low views and watchers but got nowhere this go at it. In 10 days that VDB only had 9 or 10 views and 1 bid. I went on healthcare hiatus for about 5 years but must have missed out on Ebay/Paypal/Meg changes to the point that I didn't realize how little you actually get from the 21% the twins are charging. 200-300% loss.... Back to the drawing board on this one. Never really cared much for the conjoined Silicon Valley twins Ebay/Paypal and now for them to get a huge piece of the pie including 5% of what I charge for S&H has just become personally a cruel and unusual punishment for using their services. Sorry (or maybe Thanks) for the rant. A textbook 22 weak D for 5 bucks. Capluwee.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
