I can't even begin to tell you how bad ebay has gotten. I think I saw the decline around the beginning of summer.
I had a couple fiascos at the beginning of summer and things have gone downhill since then. It seems to be a change in clientel. Everyone wants something for nothing.
For example . . . Last weekend I listed some of those oldfashioned bulb type Christmas lights. They run about $10 in Walmart. I listed them for $1.99 because we never use them and four bulbs are burnt out.
Someone had the nerve to email me and ask if the price was negotiable because 4 of the bulbs were burnt out. YES, IT IS NEGOTIABLE AND IT STARTS AT $1.99 BECAUSE 4 BULBS ARE BURNT OUT.
Are you kidding me???
I sell my stuff cheap because I want it out of here. But that was ridiculous.
All in all, I'm just getting tired of ebay. Something for nothing is not what it is about. It's supposed to be something for a steal or a great deal. Not free.
I'm jdsdive on ebay, incase you want a 25 strand of bulbs (with 4 not lit) for two bucks.
