i don't get why it costs 10p to list a cd,
I may have 20 of them to sell ....only sell two if i'm lucky.
I owe ebay £2 already
+ selling fee, say another £1 ( if the two cds go at 5 each)
plus payc**t want £1
then the *ing post office say evil post office clerk : "is there anything valuable, do you need this to arrive at the destination?"
freqy:" yes i would like it to arrive please."
clerk: recorded delivery is first class postage plus 75p or special delivery is £3.15p
now the clerk is looking at me like she is on a period thing and will
throw my cds in the wrong bin. because now she has asked me if i would like a post office credit card application , i say no thank you politely 3 times , now she is pissed off at me.
but I risk standard delivery. and feel sick for a few days.
after all that and bubble wrap, brown paper wrap. and the cost of electric , food, travel fare and time. I may as well have sha* in my mouth.
and sold the pics to a **** mag for a fiver.
vent over.

ebay jumped the shark years ago. the fees are shit, and they force you use paypal, which has even shittier fees. once in a blue moon i still will buy a synth or something off ebay, but it's really not worth selling anymore. you're better off with craigslist or a targeted community (the AH list to buy/sell synths, for example).
there's little point in being able to search closed auctions to gauge prices, since they wall off any auctions older than three months.
their site design tells me they want to be amazon, which is retarded. amazon is for new shit; this is supposed to be a rummage sale

I know I feel like I am keeping ebay a float some times. Cd's especially are getting more worthless as people just rip them to their computers and sell them off. People want blood nowadays as things get harsher..

they don't want blood, they simply don't want CDs. may as well just sell download preorders and mail them a coaster for their beer as they listen in lossless FLAC just to say thanks

If you sell things on ebay for a living, you actually will make more money on there with the high fees than if you had your own website or used a less known format like ebid etc . This is purely because ebay is one of the largest market places in the world with millions of buyers, so they get away with increasing their fees.
You can think of Ebay as like being a dragon on dragons den, they tell you they want 11% of your business, in return they get you all the sales
As you say freqy, it will take a large company like google to step in with a new auction website and massively promote it with low fees. That would force Ebay to bring their fees down and would make it fair and more profitable for small businesses.

Its all a giant cartel, google, ebay, the whole den of vipers. Even craigslist requires people to have landline phone numbers to "varify" accounts now... too bad I the landline I tried simply didn't work. The cartel has decided to destroy internet sales. Only monopoly insiders and criminals are allowed to sell things in this growing fascist environment. The curbs are painted red in random dashes to generate ticket revenue and the street sweeper comes 2wice a week for the same purpose. Its a memory tax because sooner or later you'll forget to move your car to the RIGHT SIDE on the GOVERNMENT'S street. Its economic warfare right now but they're not gonna come out and say "its economic warfare guiz"; they do it stealthily with fake smiles, saying everything is peachy the whole time. Every time I see romney talk he has a sort of tongue in cheek half smile on his face. That's because he knows clips of him will appear on the daily show, which is elite controlled, same as colbert report and oh-so-funny stuff will be being said about them. "Terms of service" are the new laws. If someone says you can't sell guns on their site, well fuck me guns are illegal now. That's why you have to break TOS and buy craigslist PVAs and shit. Everyone needs to use bitcoin BITCOIN BITCHES, read the comments for this bitches:
bitcoin is better than ebay fuck google anchor text richard stallman talked at the bitcoin 2012 conference. Its the anti-tyranny currency, not even taxable. Its the anti-parasite currency. Either that... or a ponzi scheme.
