I hung up my guns at eBay Oct 20th. 2008 when they decided to force PayPal. Personally I think they are breaking laws with their control over the seller’s money. I think they need another 50 or so rules just to make it harder to list on eBay! So I have moved my auctions over to www.Auctions8.com. Wonder if Auctiva would want to link to it for listing things for its client base? Nice place to list and none of the ridiculous mind games and money control rules making you go crazy just to list an item, and close a transaction. Ebay has boxed themselves in a corner over the PayPal mandate and their greed for more of the seller’s money in PayPal fees and higher closing fees. We have plenty of X-eBayers at Auctions8 already, and growing daily. Come on over to Autions8 and join up, we are looking for good Sellers and buyers, who want to enjoy online auctions again. No Listing Fee No closing Fee, just a monthly 5.00 charge to list and sell. 3.00 a month for a store if you want one. All forms of payments are allowed and yes MO's and Personal Checks. Even PayPal if you are a glutton for punishment. LOL.
Wall Street Journal – JD does an about Face! JD is failing we all know that, his ideas at going all Big Box New Merchandise has flopped. I think he sees the writing on the wall. He is admitting that he screwed up here and is going back to the flea market image. Only thing is SNAD will soar now, along with all the CC charge backs.

But he goes on to reinforce that eBay will Concentrate on PayPal as their money maker, so he has not learned much. So get your pockets ready people if you continue to march to JD's piper tune.
