Seems the chatter around the net indicates a growing cross section of long time eBayers becoming weary with eBay these days. Putting up with constant changes, fee increases, etc. has prompted many to throw in the towel and look elsewhere for methods of earning an income with e-commerce, especially antiques and collectibles.

What do you think? Should long term eBay supporters move over and let the new generation, kids looking for cheap game machines , mp3 players and other liquidated junk, have their crack at it? Oh, if they only could have been there when everything was good.

Or.......should long time eBayers continue to put up a fight when changes are forced upon us? After all, it is our income as well as eBay's. Do we still have a voice or are we just a breed of the past, put out to pasture for new, up and coming, ideas?. . . visit our continual online yard sales ... ... click here!
