To Tim Sabin... who told Mammycat that a 53% profit on a paltry little $5 item was a windfall:
Now subtract her self employment income tax, gas to the post office, labor to list it... and you end up with a LOSS on the item.
Look up the word KEYSTONE, Tim. Retailers keystone for a reason.

I'm completely disgusted with those who characterize buyers as innocent angels.
Ebay committed suicide when they forgot where their revenue comes from.
Bestowing the ENTIRE GENERAL PUBLIC with the omnipotent power to shut down a store any time they desire is insane.
Consumers are like little kids. They are never happy. They can't make up their minds. Ask them to find a flaw, they will find at least ten flaws. Nothing is ever good enough for them. Give them a free gift & they'll complain about the free gift.
Feedback is just a temptation for consumers to rip on merchants.
Ebay's failures are that they should have gone to a psychology class & a sociology course before they did something so completely STUPID.
Slow suicide is still suicide.
Like my granny always said... Cut bait & go to another fishing hole...
Ebay is all fished out!
