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 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!!0 -

It IS a large online shop...and obviously people want the most for their items.0 -
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.Work like you don't need money,Love like you've never been hurt,And dance like no one's watchingSave the cheerleader, save the world!0

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:0 -
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:0 -
I dont understand the people that sell links to websites like this, and other similar ones...it must cost them more on fees...d'oh!If you obey all the rules...you miss all the fun!! Katherine Hepburn0
