Why is there STILL no credible alternative to eBay?
(and don't mention Gumtree, that's becoming more controlling and expensive and it's owned by eBay)
These have now been listed four times with no takers, probably because they're collection only in St Austell. Good buy if you're in the South-West.

The fees are really absurd at this point, and they are leading to 2 issues here.
- Sellers are increasing their asked values to silly amounts to compensate for the very expensive fee's (including P&P).
- Lot's of items not being sold and lots of unprotected parallel offers being made atm, trying to escape both Ebay and Paypal fees
The service is loosing quality, and it's all about the buyers. Sellers are really left unprotected with scammers. I think there's a drop of newly listed items in the overall, and there's also another thing: The present limit for opening a case is 45days (I think) which is silly imho, but Ebay is changing that to 180 days in 2015! Now think about that!!
You sell a CDP, get your money, eventually feedback, and 6 months after you have a open case from the buyer trying to get his money back (and he will succeed) and return the item (probaby not even need to). What in the world are they thinking??!! :scratch:
i have stopped completely selling on ebay now. it is really a business selling tool now and not what it was meant to be. They dont really want private sellers.
Who said that they want business sellers as well? The rules for business sellers are now not far off from commercial blackmail. They seem designed to let eBay smell of roses, and sellers as swirl.Quote:

But the bastards are pushing the envelope, too many requirements, too many restrictions and too expensive to sell something used and private. As soon there's a alternative they will be smelling something else. That is, until they buy the competition. Again.
It's ok cos i recon the whole lot will come to an end before long. I stopped selling on there ages ago.Quote:
