As for eBay, I've really got no use for them. Too much spam, spoofs and so on. It’s crossed my mind Das as I’m also running it in the local paper so maybe it’ll fit with someone soon.

As for eBay, I’ve really got no use for them. Too much spam, spoofs and so on.

I haven't had an account with them for over a year now. I've also been getting spam from so called "interested bidders", well, I have nothing on auction either. Of course the paypal spam is non-stop. I gave up my paypal account ages ago. I'm not so sure I would use ebay again. Used kijiji last time I sold something and it sold the next day for the price I asked. Have you tried having a "yard sale"??? I’ve had luck when dealing with e-bay in the past but lately I have been getting a ton of spam saying that there are problems with my account.

Well it would seem that each user has a different experience maybe. All I have to go with is what I experienced and it wasn't all that good. Never the less, it didn't sell and eBay's constant emails trying to get me to re list are fast becoming annoying. To be honest, I've had better luck locally than with eBay.

I haven't sold anything in years but sounds like things have gotten worse. That’s disturbing, Scott. I haven’t sold anything in years but sounds like things have gotten worse.

I couldn't trust emails that were supposed to be coming from eBay without first verifying them with a CSR and the constant checking back and forth just got old fast. In retrospect, I may have been a bit harsh towards eBay but it got to where it was like listening to a politician. You just couldn't believe anything you heard anymore. ;) Yup, and add to that I kept getting emails from “eBay” telling me my account had been breached and then that the item had sold…and you may begin to understand why I was not feeling all that secure on eBay’s site anymore.
