I depended on the trading post for my Melbourne business back then , well that's been Telstra'd . It was also the only paper I ever found in Vic , where by I could sell anything , from anywhere.
So where we live now , ebay is really my only option. Local papers never get much and they cost a bloody fortune these days but crikey , what a crazy stupid manipulative system ebay's turned into .I've had a gutful of the fools.
As if 20 or 30 emails and reminders aren't enough just to sell one thing , you seem to get an ebay mentality now in people , filthy offers , I'll give you a bad feedback - please remember my feedback , no reserves on auctions anymore , you wouldn't believe some of their so called rules as to what you can and can't do with something you wanna sell , what a load of absolute BS , not to mention their fees . I was forced by a computer , to do a stupid bloody test the other day , believe that. Broke one of their idiotic rules and if I didn't do this test, a machine wouldn't let me run another auction. What's the world come to ?
You use to put an ad in the paper , your price , your terms , take calls , people come out, tried a reasonable offer on and that was that .I sold for 14 yrs with my business like that.
But is there an ebay alternative , I know there are plenty of up and coming sites and the Gumtrees and stuff but from what I've found and tried so far nothing really where by you can sell anything from a car to a old kids toys , get heaps of lookers and a sale on almost anything.
I can't take any more of those ebay fools ! Actually , I don't even know if there is actually any fools at ebay - where ever that is . You can't even ring some B''''''''''d up to complain.
Cheers
