Bought some scrap on ebay, got ripped off - Page 2

the good old days of ebay. back before ebay bought up all of it's competitors and became the international conglomeration it is today.

paypal's business model has seen some amazing transformations. what is really amazing is how they were able to slip thru every crack and loophole in the system. tho that is slowly changing.

except amazon is kicking their a@@ in some ways, and they just can't stand that - even though Amazon fills a different niche. For some reason ebay has always been ashamed of the "flea market" image, even though it was their core seller group for years.

what we need is more flea markets, garage sales and more use of the barter system.

sure, i need more sources to buy stuff to relist on ebay

barter never worked for me, all anyone ever wants to offer are broken plasma tv's and paintball guns.
