I thought this was a phonograph list.... I think this can be summed up very easily....
1. PAYPAL is a business just like anything else out there. If you spend $30 on a credit card at the local grocery store. The grocery store pays the credit card company a percentage. Anytime you use a credit card the merchant is paying the CC company. It's the cost of doing business. 2. If you sell at the flea market, antique mall, etc... you are paying to be there. It's the cost of doing business. 3. Fact of the matter is... you are getter a MUCH wider audience selling on Ebay than you ever did selling at a antique mall, flea market. Tons of things sold on ebay probably go for twice what they would locally. On the other sides buyers/collectors are seeing things they would not have in their lifetime collecting locally. As for what happen to Fred... that is horrible. I think EBAY is horrible to get a hold of and basically they do what they want when they want to.... but let's face it, it's the only game in town!
