I know that a lot of people have heard about Ebay and it seems like everybody is trying to make a buck on it. Please tell us about your experiences, difficulties, opinions, etc.

I sold for many years on Ebay, but competition has really overcome me and there are just too many expenses associated with it. The last straw came for me when they stopped allowing payment by check and virtually every transaction now has to be paid through Paypal. Guess who owns Paypal? So, as far as I am concerned, they can KMA (excuse my language).

Actually, there was a time that I considered doing that. There are a number of auction softwares that you can purchase and set up your own auction site, but I just knew that it might have been more of an undertaking that I cared to handle. There are a lot of issues involved. I did go through the web and saw some of the sites that people had put up and they didn't have very much action.
EBay has just gotten too big for their britches. I too, didn't like them diong away with the negative feedbacks. I've tried a few other sites including overstock.com and did sell a number of things but my sales ratio wasn't too good.

I sold on ebay for years, not my handmade stuff but other stuff... last time I got a day job it was just to much daily work for the few hundred bucks I'd make each month. Plus all the changes were irking me.
Now, though, I miss that little bit of extra cash... and I did have fun doing it.
