Why doesn't e-bay go after them? I see a lot of this and it is
blatently obvious that they are avoiding the e-bay fees.

I never thought of that. I've sold stuff on ebay and I use Paypal..
the fees for both are pretty low. But I suppose if you sell a lot of
stuff and start with a nearly full retail price, those fees might add
up. I'm sure ebay is aware of this and either they don't care, or
they'll do something about it eventually.

Capitalism... gotta love it :-)
