Is it just me or is ebay awful now?

I buy off eBay, but I wouldn't be interested in selling on eBay as it is jumping through hoops and such. The truth of eBay is that it wants to be more like Amazon and such and have the BIG sellers selling their many of each Buy It Nows. And for the smaller sellers there is a class line between them and the BIG sellers.

I see most small sellers believing that you have to spend/loose some money before you make any.

I would greatly enjoy selling some of the things I want rid of on eBay, but I realize that selling on eBay is a FULL TIME job in that you get out what you put in. Some are very good at getting things that sell well at a price where they can make something that is worth the time and energy.

With eBay it's a great place for buyers, but it's a class struggle with selling.

There are many cheaper ways of postage and handling and deals that eBay gives their "special sellers".

I tell most that ask me about selling on eBay that it's best that they don't if they are not ready for the TIME and effort required. And you need plenty of clean space dedicated for eBay things.
