Not to mention the time it takes to list an item, any packaging used, and the drive to the Post Office etc. I'd be better off financially if I stood in the middle of the road and ripped twenty dollar notes to shreds and threw and resultant confetti into the air... No ebay, I wont be playing your game. <BR/>Another Anony MouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056474203732155833.post-52322688446520197602008-07-16T15:18:00.000-07:002008-07-16T15:18:00.000-07:00I don't think eBay knows what it wants. On the on...I don't think eBay knows what it wants. On the one hand they want top, volume sellers with cheap prices/free shipping and still be a venue. On the other hand, they don't want to look like a flea market. Do they honestly believe that sellers of authentic/new/quality items are not going to be giving their wares away for free or even for less than cost? <BR/><BR/>If eBay truly wants sellers that are going to take care of customers and provide exceptional service, then they have to realize that there will be no sellers hawking Maui Jim sunglasses for $0.99 opening bid with free shipping. Nor will there be any Cannon Rebel XTI cameras with full factory warranty. <BR/><BR/>Now, if they truly want Luis Vuitton $0.99 with free shipping then they have no choice but to accept the flea market attitude. It's time eBay...pick one or the other; venue or flea market?<BR/><BR/>Anony MouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
