Ebay has become greedy and so have the vendors, plain and simple.
It used to be a fun dealing site that has turned into big business. Now the fun is gone. I have been finished for quite some time now myself, first as a seller and now as a buyer.

I agree guys. But shilling has been, and always will be, an aspect of auction. It is not uncommon to place friends at an auction to bid up the price of a vendor's item. Unfortunately Ebay has left the doors wide open to this. I don't mind going head to head with them for an item of interest. However, as I mentioned before, the shipping costs have gone ballistic, which is now making purchasing something on ebay rather redundant.

Has ebay changed again?
I remain true to my word about never dealing with ebay again but I do check up from time to time to see how silly prices are going. It used to be that if I bookmarked something and it sold I could click on my bookmark to see what it sold for. Now when I click on an ended auction, or even my history viewing items, all I get is an ebay page that says "ebay found these similar items for you". What's up?

Ebay is BS and I quit many years ago. They have artificially inflated the values on almost everything and have soured the collector market. Nowadays people think everything they have for sale is gold, merely because of precedences set by overzealous bidders who are out of touch with reality.
Add in the fact of Pitney Bowes and USPS raping Customers and thats enough for me.

Bruce, if you ever buy anything from the UK, get it shipped to me, I can then get it to you at the best price I can find.
