    ebay is a pain in the butt, but I deal with it (so far).



    I hate their policies and loved the old days a lot more. I started on eBay by purchasing an advertising pamphlet for a school bus manufacturer in the 50s. I thought it was neat, and it only cost about $10. I found that there was another pamphlet he had that didn't sell. I talked to the buyer, and he agreed to throw it in for another $5 (opening bid). I sent him a Post Office money order, and received my stuff... before he even got the money order.

    That was about 10 years ago. Today, it's not that great. The rules are too strict in my mind, but they probably were needed. The times have changed. Now, there are too many dishonest buyers and sellers. I grew up in the 90s, and I can't seem to identify with today's world at all.
