The one bright spot is that collectibles should get more traffic. Otherwise, eBay sure is making it clear to its sellers that the little guy shouldn't even try. Very sad.

Neglus,
Would the small sellers who buy from distributors still be able to make a living on Ebay by lowering their asking price?
I know,I know,how low can one go?
Yes,I see this as a trend,will Overstock.com be next?
But then I remember a few bombs-AMZN invited Best Buy to join,at first BBY said yes,then they gave AMZN the finger,they figure their name is better than AMZN and the fee? why pay fee to anyone?
And BBY never have to look back.
And then there is EBay which made an investment in an outfit cant recall the name but they buy store returns and hire a bunch of people to clean and sort,take pictures and list on EBay,and they folded.
I guess they find us selling on EBAY does not work if you have to pay your workers minimum wage,give them coffee break and health benefits,not to mention holiday,vacation and overtime !

What is that saying-one door closed another door just open!
This may be good news for Bidville and Epier and Ioffer,the small sellers may go there !

While I realize often-times many, if not even most, pleased customers don't tend to search out etailer/retailer feedback sites such as the long-standing ResellerRatings.com, here's a long enough rabbit trail of more bad than good experiences shopping with Buy.com to keep me, personally speaking, from ordering anything from Buy.com directly, let alone via eBay...but that's just me:
