Thanks Frank for this thread. I rarely go to eBay anymore because of the sniping near the end of auctions. They provide a valuable forum, but the fee structure between them and PayPal really makes it cost prohibitive to sell anything at a decent, fair price. For instance a vehicle that retailed for $9.99 should not be marked up to $29.99 plus $16.95 S/H just so someone can make it worthwhile.

I already built my own policy of NOT knowingly bidding against friends if I can figure out they are forum members here. I have seen ender098 and others a few times, and wished you well in your acutions wihtout bidding. I would never want to accidentally elevate bids.

I used to sell 12" (1:6) Joes, Dragon, Ultimate Soldier on eBay and on my own website, but it was too difficult to break even with the fee structure. It was a hobby job, but I didn't want to lose money, be tied to my mouse, and constantly mailing at the post office Monday thru Saturday. Then I was notified when the Terms of service changed, I could no longer link to my own website for additional sales. That was the beginning of the end. (This was back in the late 90's.)

eBay still serves a purpose, but I'd rather swap items with people here and avoid making someone with stock options even wealthier than they already are... :rolleyes:

No, just your Social Security number, your credit card numbers with pins, your bank account numbers and your wife/girlfriends phone number (but only if she's hot!) ;)

Do you want my boyfriend's # as well???? hehehehehe :p

Well, since no one has fallen for that one, I guess I might have to! LOL!! I guess beggars can't be choosers! LOL!! :eek:

I'm not really bidding much on ebay lately, but I did recently lose an auction for 3 Ninja BATs and 2 Sky BATs. $$ + shipping would've been less than cost, but I was outbid at the last moment by a dollar!!!! Grrr!!! Oh well, I'll try again soon enough.
