scrawled the following:

I was watching to see if anyone commented on having a store, but haven't
seen any replies.

Yeah, I'm considering the $10/mo store (20 items at a time, max) and
asked last week, but didn't see any replies, either.


At one time, the stores were free (or nearly), and recently, a friend had
said they are fairly costly now. Fees in layers, essentially, which is
another similarity to taxes.

eBay is saying "We're Gods. PAY UP!"
To that notion, I say "UP YOURS!"


My most outrageously profitable sales were items bought on, and later resold
on eBay.

That's great.


Ebay was an avenue to great potential for opportunity at one time, maybe
something more reasonable will start up. Yahoo tried it for a while, I don't
know how long it lasted. There are many other places to sell stuff online,
but the sheer numbers of drooling, itchy buyers of eBay probably won't be
matched for quite a while.

It still is, but its value and utility are now greatly diminished.
RIP, eBay.
