"These are tough times in every sort of way and certainly not a good time to
be selling memorabilia."
Shouldn't that be:
"These are tough times in every sort of way and certainly not a good time
for a seller who does not sell a lot regularly to be selling memorabilia on
eBay?"
They ruined the eBay search so next to no one "finds" anything, if they
don't know to go to the seller's items, and doesn't that defeat the entire
principle that made eBay so great in the first place? And at the same time
the fees are a zillion times higher than they used to be.
Other than Sean and Dave (who could go on their own on a moment's notice),
what dealers say they are doing well on eBay? And which ones agree with
Jim's sentiments below?
