Seller vents his spleen against eBay

Interesting:

Edit: the rant has been taken off the auction...never mind.

But can I still buy the shifters?

[Black Dog]

Huh? Looked at the listing and seems normal.

The 'rants' were listed in the sellers other items but have been removed, I'm guessing by eBay.

i have zero idea how much volume is done by individuals at ebay selling trinkets and whatnot, but based upon a bloomberg tv profile of them the other day, it sounds like they want to move in on amazon turf and take increasing market share from them by way of courting institutional/corporate sellers. partnering with retailers and manufacturers as a distribution channel, basically.

i haven't sold anything on ebay in a few years, it was such a headache and hassle, and just plain not worth it. i've bought a bunch of things, however, but interestingly most, if not all, was sold by companies/stores.
