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...

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!)

Sephron13 Death from above!! Offline --> Posts: 535 --> Join Date: Sep 2005	Sephron1335 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.
