This stupid rule that sellers cant leave neutral or negative feedback is absolutely stupid!! One problem and i'll be cancelling my own account too - but so far i have been really lucky.

Although I've had no trouble myself so far I know a fair few who have.
It's definately past it's prime now.
Decent competition required.

Ebay is no more than a flea market these days and I agree it's time for some serious competition.
(wound up enough as it is!!!!)

Only other sizable auction site (but still minescule compared to the bay) is ebid

Do what a lot of breakers appear to do...

Put up a .99p auction selling (for example) a bolt for a (pictured) pair of £150 seats and put a link to your main website for people to purchase the accompanying seats from.

No ebay fees

No paypal (if you so desire)

Just my 2p...

ah paypal, charged me eight quid last week to recieve a deposit on my behalf. Felt sick.

Don't start me on paypal, THIS is still on going and as a seller cant leave any feedback other than positive, stinks.

You can always report the seller as attempting to sell outside ebay rules.

`at the bottom of every listing is a "report to" link

After a bit of reading I've just realised you can't list on ebay anymore without accepting paypal as a payment method. If you put no paypal your listing will be removed.

Or have I read that wrong?

No, that's right. Because obviously eBay aren't making quite enough money from listing/final value fees, so they want to force paypal fees on more auctions as well
