Just had a look at the twitter account you linked. Ebay sellers will be pleased to know, the previous CEO David Donahoe, has just met POTUS and other CEOS at the Whitehouse for a conference on helping the unemployed (  quote "everyone deserves a chance" ). Just wondering if this is all of the small ebay sellers he has driven off the site and who are now unemployed that he,s thinking of.  I,m sure they will be comforted to know hes available to help.

AWWWW, I just got that gooey, warm, fuzzy feeling. What a champ! Fancy thinking of the less fortunate like that. He's my hero.

WOW, WOW, WOW - thank you so much 4green2000 for posting that list-who ever thought you could come into the ebay forums and find A BETTER SELLING PLATFORM THAN EBAY in the posts-i had never heard of locanto, craigslist i thought was only in the states-pleasantly surprised- THERE IS LIFE APART FROM EBAY!!.

As for that person who said that none of these sites have any traffic-well amazon outdoes ebay anyday in traffic-friends of mine often wondered why the hell i use ebay-all their purchases are on amazon, and ebay does not get a look in-hey i just discrovered another really good website for items over 20 years old-ETSY.

Just for the record i have listed some items on some of those other sites and within minutes have sold over $400 worth of items and have the freedom not to use Paypal.

I didn't realise just how finished ebay is, especially with the changes-so many sellers gone and still so many false buyers here.

However just for fun i will list some items here as pickup only-cross promotion can't be a bad thing.

downeyas-i thinks it's too late now, they can change everything back to how it was but too many people are lost/have left/leaving-i have seen the grass on the other side and the grass is much greener.

I must thank ebay for providing me the motivation to sell online, instead of local markets, but geez a massive thanks goes to that forum poster who provided that list.

It is taking me time to build up my website using facebook and social media but I am driven by the desire to move on from Ebay...  I am so disappointed with how this business is currently being run... I hope it will improve?
