I got started with ebay back around 2002-2003. It was great, things slowly
got worse last year paypal and ebay finally took the last straw.

I've since had excellent luck selling my wares in item specific locations.

Ya ebay was great because it was a one stop location. Although I've since
had better experience taking my business (buying and selling ) else where.
