Paypal was a different comany that eBay promptly bought.
I stopped selling years ago after seeing the fees get ridiculous, and sellers "rights" getting ignored all for a buyer protection scheme;
Then this past year I found out a couple Hotwheels I had were big ticket items, so I listed, and promptly sold them there - don't get me wrong, the listing fees, and paypal fees were alot , but the bill i was sent after the fact made it ridiculous to the tenth power.
I miss being able to see who's bidding against you - or being able to message other bidders.

I didn't like the bank account issue, but had a talk with our bank manager. Have been with this bank for almost 60 years, and there are perks. One of which is a zero-balance account with no service charge. So we set up a special account so we could give the number to ebay, and funds are immediately transferred out of the account when something sells.

Wow - that is a fan-freaking-tastic idea!

That sir, is pure
About the terrible search engine, I pretty much exclusively use picclick.com now.
I understand doing stuff to protect buyers, but they have seemed to basically done alot lately on the expense of their sellers - and their sellers are what get them the lions share fo their revenue, so I don't understand that.
