I wasn't on the boards until after Lithium, either. Generally though, eBay has changed dramatically in those ten years (I was buying up a storm).
It was a different place. Zing off a bank deposit and hey presto your stuff turned up. Australian eBay, was Australian eBay. For exotic stuff signing in to eBay U.S. was needed...no wading through 10000 Chinese listings.
People trusted each other more and that mostly worked out, rather than all this I've just been shafted by yet another buyer and/or seller thread.
yep...eBay ain't what it used to be
eBay has steady large retailers now, yes, and is using discount offers to lure us into buying from them. Each has their own online store with offers on a regular basis, too...so be interesting to see how many value eBay sales longterm. Each one I have bought from here has subsequently sent me separate deals for their own sites.
