"I reckon a fair percentage of the buyers that are not spending dosh on eBay currently are or were eBay sellers. Ironic really."

CORRECTAMUNDO catspjs .. and ebays haste to promote their department stores sellers has pretty much sucked all the oxygen away .. the department store sellers do not spend anything on ebay, that is what mum and pop sellers did .. the churn has gone .. let the burn commence ..

unfortunately postal costs also factor in as it is cheaper for our overseas competitoors to post to Australia than it is for us to post the same item/s to our neighbouring suburb ..

and as if that wasn't all enough ebay has become glitch city where we can no longer run reliable auctions, contact sellers/buyers or have a working postage calculater .. things are so bad that I have had to start listing my expensive stuff elsewhere .. will still leave some cheapy stuff on ebay but am gravitating away now ..
