eBay's Death by a Thousand Cuts

There are other reasons to use ebay. Ever had your account hijacked? I did. I got immediate online live help, they were able to take action, credit my account after fees had been charged for the bogus listings, and eliminate the problem. This hacker was good too: he accessed my personal email account as well and hijacked that too, so I could not change my ebay info on my own! Kudos to ebay's security and their live help. Do the other auction sites offer this level of live help, immediately? better check it out. Not a cut here, but a bit of armour that ebay has going for it.
