Hi all!
eBay is not an ordinary auction house. It doesn't handle the goods, it
doesn't create a catalogue and it doesn't provide an auction house so
all buyers can come and examine the goods before the auction.
eBay is an automatic system where the seller and buyer enters all the
details. As

I finally waded through your unnecessary capitalization and misspelled words
and have come to the conclusion that you must take grammar lessons from Chicago
Steve.
I have also concluded that your references to Communism and the evils of
Capitalism that your auction fees are
G. Axelsson said eBay is not an ordinary auction house.
He is right. It is superior to any auction house! Again from experience in
owning and operating an auction conglomerate, I say that the price received at
auction for an item is directly related to the number of bidders participating.

Ebay is a business and its goal is to make as much money as possible, which
involves decisions such as what is
Greetings Count and List,
The Count brings up some very salient points here. As a buyer, I love
eBay still - despite the occasional verbal beatdowns I dish out to
it's management. Nowhere else on Earth can you sit in the comfort of
your own home and bid on so many different meteorites that you
I Love Ebay!!! Hey it isn't just a simple auction house. They
employ over 16000 full time employees, sell a lot of crap no one
else could and you can always find a great deal on just about
anything. I usually shop Ebay first.. And as a stock holder,
Ebay has always been strong. For a $27.00
Yes and I fully get it, but what I'm complaining about is the volume of
mail about the pros and cons of any business enterprise be it ebay or
any other currently far outweighs the subject matter of the list which I
thought was about hunting for and discussing of meteorites.

There is currently over 4000 meteorite listings on ebay... far more then
anywhere else.
Major changes to the fee and listing structure will spawn discussion.
While the subject of ebay is not meteorite related, many of us buy/sell
meteorites on ebay, therefor the 2 are related in a way.

Count,
Two sides to every story.
You are spot on when it comes to talking about the good aspects of ebay. And
you pointed out that the difference in eBay and other auctions is quite
different.
Well, I have to say that there are a whole bunch of bad aspects of eBay. Which
has contributed to
I would like to add in the very subjective DSRs.
.5% can ruin your business by leaving poor DSRs.
A seller can ship the same day of payment, for the exact cost of shipping and
the buyer can in turn leave 1s or 2s and potentially cause the seller to loose
the 20% fvf discount.
again, less then
Hi Shawn and List,
Or jettison eBay as the obsolete profit-mongers they are and each
seller set up their own ecommerce store and keep all of their own
profits. ;)

On further thought, allow me to clarify, so I am not misconstrued.
I do not advocate cheating eBay out of money or stealing for them. I

I think this is something that is very on topic as regards to ebay fees and
such. Many people here buy and or sell meteorites on ebay and the fee increase
will effect a certain portion of list members.

margins are thin as
Hello fellow Listees,

Tucson, I am pretty familiar with auctions. In fact, my family and I owned and

organizations in America. Licensed in eight
FINALLY a voice of reason.
I was wondering not that the Count brought up Blood's auction. How does
auction fees compare to eBay? I would be they are more and there is a buyers
premium which eBay does NOT have.

I have seen this done before on eBay with items I have bought. The seller would
offer the item at buy it now for $2 and the shipping would be 15. Now if your a

seller charging $15 to $40 for shipping and
