I agree arnl7178  , times are a changing, all you have to do is look at how bricks and mortar shops are going, and the lengths that they are going too to try and stay in business.

Unfortunately i think a lot of professional ebay sellers are going to have to rethink their selling, look at what they are selling, see if it is moving, if it isnt look at cutting your margin, if you cant cut your margine, look for another product where you can. The consumer society now is about price price price, with the exception of where someone is prepared to pay for quality, and then i am guessing they will go to a b&m shop or a brand name internet shop to pay top dollar. Ebay is sort of like the online version of Cheap as Chips or The reject shop for lots of people, if it isnt cheap they arent buying it
