eBay died for me

I have never had a time when I have listed various household items (around 40) for them ALL to come back unsold week after week after week. I have never had so many watchers giving hope for a sale but frustratingly non of the watchers buy. It's dire. Anyone know a better auction site with the chance of selling ?

    Yes you have, you've had pretty much the same post every few months over the last 3 or 4 years. Change the record, leave Ebay alone and use a skip.

    I just checked, the first of these threads Hubb posted was in March 2010. 3 and a half years. That horse he's been flogging must be getting threadbare.

    I think he needs someone to heal his flogged horse, so he can get on it and ride off into the sunset. hourse2-smiley.gif

    Perhaps the predictable, cynical trolls aside there might be some truth in the fact that eBay is dead.

    If you are relisting the same things week after week and they are not selling, there's a message there.

    Nobody wants to buy them, and they just ain't going to sell.

    There comes a point when you give them to the charity shop or send for recycling.
