Yes ebay is no longer worth looking at.
due to heavy listing & fvf plus fees on postage all it has done is force sellers to raise prices to cover these fees.
and now prices on most items are about the same as what you pay for in store with out postage cost.
example i buy diecast cars,
trax 1 43 scale cars avarage price on ebay $60. plus postage.
hobby shops sell them for $58.00 or trax website $54.00 with free postage.
there is no reward for sellers just each month ebay changes the rules take high risks that if a sale happens that the buyer wont scam them to get item for free as ebay has opened the door for these dishonest people to do so without fear of being questioned on there clains.
as a buyer ebay use to be a place where most items could be brought for approx 45% off recommended retail price after postage was included. now expect to pay maybe 10 off recommended retail price plus add postage most items here are dearer than shop frount stores. online selling is not & will not be anywhere as good as it once was.
for years big name retailers cryed that sites like ebay & other online sites was killing them for sales.
so the new trend is these same big name retailers have over taken ebay and ebay looks after them with special deals and whot not yet look at most of these sellers there feedback is scary yet ebay allows rhem to trade. yet small sellers are ^ have been removed for some very minor issues. because the feed back system is way out of date and defects are placed on sellers where buyers are at fault. and ebay even though these defects are proving to be buyers fault ebay refuse to do the right thing by seller and seller has to live with what ever defects get given. if you ask me the biggest defect is the defect system ebay come up with. the defect system must have been made on a friday afternoon long lunch because no thought was put into it. YES IVE CLOSED MY 2 SELLING ACCOUNTS AND WONT BE BUYING OR SELL ON EBAY AGAIN.
