And the problem with greed is....?


Hmmmmmm..... You asked.
Since greed is defined as the "love of money", and
1 Ti 6:10 says "the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil", then
I'd say the problem with greed is it generates evil. Having money is okay;
seeking money is okay; earning money is okay, but when money is wrongly
prioritized to the point of being greed, it becomes a problem.
Heb 13:5 says "Make sure that your character is free from the love
of money, being content with what you have", further admonition that greed
is a problem.

Greed would be FORCING you to use them. Are they forcing you?

And who says you need to use that feature?
i've done well using hte plain and simple method with clean and to the point
descriptions; one auction netting me a 300% return on an item I only paid
$10 for and had become a collector's item.

A 300% sell/buy ratio is not nearly enough for a successful eBay
venture.

Which is fine if you really believe that greed is defined as "love of
money" Guess there was no greed when people just bartered. Also,
getting justification from an old book of myths is as sensible as
quoting a D&D handbook. You can find the meaning of life (or anything
else) in an episode of the Power Rangers if you try hard enough.

The meaning of life has quite conclusively been proven to be 42.

Not everyone uses ebay as a source of Income, Don, you do realize there are
the "occasional" seller, who sell stuff just to earn extra money or to just
get rid of items they no longer want.

And there was supposed to be an extra 0 ( 3000% return )

Also, his so-called "strategy" is not at all applicable to the coin market in
particular, or the collectibles market in general.
