I do! I find it more rewarding when one of my items sells on a rival venue than on eBay for some reason. Maybe it's the larger percentage of profits I get to keep, or maybe it's finding another venue succeeding, but it's something I can't quite put my finger on.

Anyone else have similar feelings?

Yes... I've noticed that lately I DO get a charge out of it.

Sometimes I feel sorta "guilty"... but mostly, I feel a sense of accomplishment and relief.

When I sell stuff outside of eBay I feel great because it tells me that I don't have to rely on eBay as much. There is no way that I feel guilty about it. eBay's company is dishonest and greedy.

When I first started selling on Yahoo a year ago, it was DEFINITELY a rush every time I made a sale- but it happened so often that the novelty quickly wore off. It wasn't long before I moved all my inventory off of Ebay, and onto Yahoo.

Then when they started monkeying with the listing order, my Yahoo sales dropped off. Making sales was once again a novelty. I moved most of my inventory back to Ebay.

Now when I make a sale on Yahoo, I feel as if I'd hit the jackpot. It is weird isn't it? But maybe not THAT weird. Some days I feel as if I'd hit the jackpot when I make a sale on ebay too...
