You cant find anything with the new search...

For some reason, Firefox uses the new ebay search function, IE uses the old search on my system (older searcg which is better imho)

Not to mention that you have to use Paypal these days, which is a con.

After ebay have just changed all there pricing plans, most big companies have pulled out of using it.

I dont exactly know why, but doldy off here used to sell 500+ items a week, and has pulled out due to it, so it must be a bit of a problem.

Last years turnover for me £176,000 and i have pulled out, thats how bad it is now!

Its not the buyers that have it shit, its the sellers. eBay only want big china sellers.

The eBay community have all moved onto www.eBid.net (.co.uk) its great and is getting more popular by the day!

If you need ANY ebid help them im your man, its my life and how i make a living. (Well not making anything atm as im off eBay but starting on eBid soon)!
