My take on ebay is that A)They charge too much 
for listing, and B)They usually screw something 
up, like censoring auctions or outright deleting 
them for stupid reasons. As for fancels, I wish 
people would contact the seller directly before 
coming to the forum. It's not only rude, but also 
casts a bad light on a nice auction, like the 
example we had earlier. If the person who posted 
would have checked into it, they would have seen 
that Rosemary is a very honest and fair seller. 
Even if you've never dealt with her, you could 
have gathered this from her spotless feedback. I 
still use eBay because it reaches a very large 
audience when you are selling. As of yet, I have 
not been screwed on a purchase(Knock on wood), 
but I have heard some stories which illustrate 
why some call it evil.
