Much of what I see on eBay lately is listed for way more than I would pay for an item. I haven't actually won an auction there in years - always get sniped at the last second. If I do find something I want, I just "buy it now." But, I bid what I want to pay. No real issue there.
I wonder how many people have moved on from eBay due to seller fees and other issues. Perhaps other outlets are an overall better experience? I don't know. I have no interest in selling on eBay, personally.
