MG, your points were well taken. I have seen many changes in Ebay over the period of time I have used them. Some good, some not, but overall, I am pleased with my end results. Of course competion is good for any business...on the consumer end.
I know that I have sold several large items that brought much more than I could have realized elsewhere, so I suppose I did'nt mind their cut. However, MG, you are right. It is hefty!
BTW, glad to see you posting, MG!
