Giving things away would be actually cheaper than what you are doing now. 

Which is paying to not sell anything. 

I was honestly trying to help, I read back and can't even see how my comments could be read as mean?   They were ebay truths, like it or not. 

I know how it is to be emotionally tied to your business.  Maybe you need to step back and leave the forums for the night rather than getting upset.  There are potential buyers on these boards as well as sellers giving advice.   That's my last comment! Have a good night.
