Do not list items. Do not buy from eBay.

A lot of the sellers are nothing without eBay... if not for eBay,
a lot of us would still have a lot of crap filling up our garages,
houses, etc.

Stewart, eBay did not create the internet. If not for eBay, sellers
would have the choice of selling their items on a large number of
sites,
groups and forums without being subjected to ebay raising their fees
at will. Without eBay sellers would not be paying out 50% and more of
their profits to sell online.
Have you ever asked yourself why you can host a web site with 1
Gigabyte of
storage and 30 Gigabytes of bandwidth for 5.95/month but it costs
sellers
$5.00 in listing fees and FVFs to list a few items on a couple of pages
on
eBay?
Its competition. eBay has none. They buy out everyone that would
prevent
them from raising their fees at will. Yes I know, eBay advertises more
than
the web hosts. Where does eBay get the money to advertise? Where did
eBay
get the money to buy half.com? Where did eBay get the money to buy
PayPal?
That's right. From the sellers who help build eBay and make it a
continued
success every day. And how is eBay paying you back?
