Some problems I see about ebay----I use it and have been satified. However I have friends who have more than 100 postings a week. This summers bidders were not out there and after eating a lot of filing fees . Over $150 for 1 mo, and got few bids, he went and tried a different service with no listing fees. The jury is still out on this one.--My point is you need buyers to make it work or the listers will dissapear. Thus revenue for ebay will deminish shortly because they make the real $$$ on completed sales plus the small posting fees. The better mousetrap theory will prevail here. remember Prodigy? Look what happened when aol charged lower rates and gave content. Ride this one for the short term ,till you can see if its for real!
