Bruce I still have two eBay Stores but the vast majority of my sales are through my website which I am very thankful for. I first started selling on eBay in 1997 and have been close to closing my stores but now have compromised a bit by using the “Time Away” holiday option regularly. That actually works OK because it gives me regular breaks from eBay and it also makes the listings more prominent when I end the “time away” and reopen the store.
The fees are high but the thing that I really find difficult is the Managed Payment system. It is a nightmare for businesses to navigate when doing quarterly tax returns and that is enough of a reason to put many sellers off eBay altogether.

Is it still worthwhile overall selling there?

On Monday Ebay knocked off an Al Jolson in black face. I didn't have it listed as black face, but they took it off as offensive. I can see that could be a problem so no big deal. Then today they knocked off 3 Hattie McDaniel stills from GWTW. I am sure some could find her role offensive, but she was a great actress playing a part, and a good part of a strong person. I respected her acting ability. She was not a Stepin Fetchit type of actor, even though he was playing a character. I am white, but I would be offended that they are trying to eliminate a great respected actress from the Golden Age. Not trying to start a race conversation, just my rant toward the policy.
