I am waiting for eBay to offer to *PAY *sellers to list items, and even then I would have to think long and hard about listing there.
I know some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea. They have added so many anti-seller rules that I would be petrified after every sale, both that I might be scammed out of my poster, and that the buying might leave bad feedback for me and restrict my account.
