EBAY is ruined

It is only my humble opinion but with so many shops selling on ebay now I feel that ebay has become spoilt. You have to go to page 9-10 to find the real bargins it is just getting annoying. Same as when people advertise plasma tv's for 99p but are actually selling the tv remote batteries etc.

    I hate it when they advertise something and say not..., ......, ....., just so it's picked up in a search

    I totally and utterly agree with this! It really pees me off! It just to be about auctions and seeling things that people didnt want. Its more like a large online shop, and how much can you make for items!!

    I hate it when you try to find a mobile phone and you have to search through about 12 pages of facias and batteries to get the them. :mad: I hardly bother with the place anymore.

    I think it has become a victim of its own success...:rolleyes:

    yeah, but its ment to be an auction site. I love my bargains, but when when you have to search throu all the brand new things, that when you include postage is the same that you would pay at the shop, its a joke!

    I sell just to clear out my stuff, that someone else may want. If it sells for 99p, or £10, I dont care, as long as it goes!:money:

    i agree . i just motor past the stuff at the start and begin with the REAL auctions from REAL people ect. i think a lot of others do too. a good tip is to change views or start at the end and work backwards

    guess thats the price you pay for being the most succesful web site in history... everyone wants a piece of the action.
    Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:
