I have ceased selling on eBay for almost a year now and from what I see in the comments eBay is moving further away from their cores competancies. I don't wish to buy eBay shipping materials when I can get FedEx and UPS shipping materials without cost. eBay hs made it more difficult for sellers to sell and make a fair profit, I don't see that changing. If anything I see i becoming more difficult for the smaller independant merchant to deal with eBay. I'll continur to stay away.
