The curious thing about eBay is after the dim bulbs at the top nearly wrecked the site while micro-managing it (against their own intentions) into becoming a clearance market, it is still surviving surprisingly well as an antiques site. Do a search for “Chinese Vase” completed items, highest price first. I think you may be surprised at what still transacts over eBay.

Brews description of the paypal/ship-to address loss scenario is completely accurate.

Full time business sellers deal with it in their own ways and make it part of the cost of doing business, one way or the other. It’s a painful truth about the Paypal system.

The small ebay seller may never get bitten by this. A seller moving 5 items per day doesn’t encounter the things a seller moving 300 items per day….

How did it all get so hard? Really, all that any of us online retailers want to do is sell stuff to people who want to buy it. eBay has placed too much power with buyers and we’re all so much worse off. Buyers and sellers. Another great article, Brews, and very interesting comments.
