Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 417006, member: 9270"]I stopped selling in January because eBay was going to raise its FVF's in February.Plus their changes in the feedback rules scheduled for May made their FVF raises look minor. Now their newest antics have pushed me even further away from selling. I still average buying about 1 item a week.Good bargains can be found there.I buy coins I want if I can get them for no more (including S&H) than 20% above CDN Bid. To borrow from history:eBay won't die, it'll "just fade away." Here's an insightful comment made on eBay referencing their pending "PayPal only" policy along with other coming changes: "What eBay is doing isn't illegal, but they do seem to go out of their way to give buyers and sellers a growing list of reasons to move elsewhere. IMO, it's a disastrous move to go head-to-head with Amazon. They will lose that battle and probably lose all their good auction sellers in the process. Amazon is light years ahead of eBay in every aspect of site programming -- from search functionality to product pages to checkout/payment systems, etc. Given eBay's long history of programming mishaps, it's hard to see them even competing in (let alone winning) that battle. What eBay had was magic - an untouchable niche as "auctioneer of the internet" -- but they're somehow managing to destroy that. Simply astounding!"[/QUOTE]
