Increasingly, eBay does not seem to be the ideal venue for casual selling. I may be wrong, and Managed Payments may end up being as delightful and easy to use as a smile to a baby on a beach.

CAVEAT: I do not sell on eBay. I have a few items that I must sell, but I suspect that eBay is not the best venue for that. eBay continues to be a viable online marketplace for many sellers; it's clearly not for every person wanting to sell something.
