Ebay seller strike and other stuff.
Feb. 18th, 2008 09:53 amFor those that don't know, Ebay, once again, is threating to raise their rates. You can read the article regarding the strike here:

I've pretty much given up lately on selling on ebay for a variety of reasons. It's expensive for one. Even if you do manage to sell your item, you get a chunk of the selling price out both from the Ebay fees and the paypal fees. Unfortunately, there are very little alternatives to paypal right now.

It all comes down to the money. Do you rather have a ton of upfront costs or sit around and hope that your item might sell? Basically, although I won't be bidding or selling during this strike I don't think it will change anything at all.
