eBay: Where Did All the Fun Go?

Several of you are on target. Have sold on eBay for over 11 years with 7 of them being a fulltime living. The inane policies enacted over the last few years have driven the fun away. DSR's, No seller feedback, cost increases hidden by supposed decreases or free listings. They go on and on. We are in the process of finalizing the closeout of our eBay store too that has been open 6 years. When the fees are an average of 25% of sales it is not worth it.

The fun went to alternative sites like Bonanzle! Our sales there last month was only $80 less than eBay and guess what?? Our bill was $61 less!! Plus there is the atmosphere that eBay had in the late 90's, and management is responsive and involved.
