steve yawitzWhy feel sorry for people who voluntarily enter into a business relationship with eBay, which certainly does not conceal its fee structure? I don't like the fees either - and resent how eBay is heavy-handed in some areas while committed to a laissez-faire attitude in others - but they're not an unreasonable price to pay for that level of access to a basically democractic marketplace. I seriously doubt that a CU or an N54 or a whatever auction site would yield the same results that most sellers obtain on eBay - at least in terms of long-term average. And I'm virtually certain that very few hobbyists want to return to the feudal system that existed before eBay and the internets revolutionized the marketplace.
