eBay: Selling junk is getting harder

eBay is completely useless…

via Waxy.org

eBay’s days are numbered (at least one can hope).

I’ve been selling small items on the auction site for years. Besides the obvious benefit of a few extra $$’s in your pocket, eBay was a great way to get rid of excess stuff in an ‘environmentally friendly’ manner. Earth wins, you win, & eBay wins.

But now, fraudsters are seemingly rampant on eBay. Anecdotal stories of fraud & mischief are becoming more frequent & eBay’s law-abiding citizens are suffering.

I too, have experienced the ‘unethical buyer’ in a recent auction. Now is the time for a new player in the auction space to emerge with a model that enables fair, balanced auctions, despite any efforts of a miscreant minority.

I’ve 130+ auctions completed on eBay & I’d move all future ‘garage sales’ in a heartbeat if a better mousetrap emerged.
