Wow, I haven't had the kinds of trouble that you guys have had, basically I can't stand the fees... If you sell something for $5.00 and charge the actual shipping costs, you have pretty-much given it away.

Non paying bidders are a PITA and ebay won't do anything about them. The "keyword" thing is also a PITA, people think that I, as a die-hard Cub Cadet person want to look at their John Deere or MTD crap, that has nothing to do with a Cub Cadet. And people who constantly put the wrong information in their descriptions and ebay won't do anything about that either. Don't even get me started on the morons who put something stupid like 10 front pto lever and rockshafts on for a gazillion dollars each.

Not sure if it's still true, but at one time ebay would delete your add if you said that you will only accept payment in the form of a USPS money order, or that you will charge a fee if they want to pay with paypal. It's all about eBay's bottom line...

I suggest that the powers that be, here on OCC, start an auction section of their own and start cutting in on ebays action... When they do, I want a percentage for suggesting it!

Hmmm, not sure I knew I had all that pent up inside... I think I may feel a little better now.

Rant over.
