Again, and again, and again...EBAY IS ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY. They don't give a rat's you know what about the true legit buyers and true legit sellers. Just think how easy it is for someone to make some easy cash by defrauding people on ebay. They do it every day. Sure, ebay 'sugar coats' and 'soothes the stomach' with such antics as "Pay Pal is our sure way of helping anyone being cheated. It's so good, we now require it!"
It's up to everyone to WEAN from ebay and stop the all of the nonsense. This is a two fold thing here: - First of all, you completely eliminate being cheated or taken by crooks. - Secondly, if all comply, ebay will go out of business Both of these is what I strive for! There are so many fellow collectors, both phonograph and record, that provide fantastic networks for all in the hobby to buy and sell within. It has been said before, the pristine machine, or the rare record located in Aunt Betsy's attic are long gone days. The networks entwined with shows and club meetings provide the greatest resource for what we in the hobby want and desire. Let's face it, ebay with all of its promises, glitter, and gleam does not provide one with the opportunity to hold, try, or truly get a feel of the item being advertised. Not prompting this, but I bet (and I'm not a betting man either!) if a poll was taken, more that few have gotten burned, cheated, or disappointed with an ebay transaction. I know being both a buyer and seller, I have been. All take care and again, wean, wean, wweeeeeaaaan from ebay. It will do a heart, mind, and soul good!
