Have you tried your local auction house ?.

What auction house do you know of that sells a million items a minute worldwide.

The world has changed,pennies count.

To be competetive sellers need to list stuff at a price that may lead to a sale.

I guess the word i'm thinking of is "adapt".

You are a business selling low value items, so not much profit in it.

Ebay is not a charity, as you and so many others seem to bizarrely think. You clearly have no idea what it costs to run such a massive platform.

But no-one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to sell here. Just drive your stuff to some rain-swept field, or list it on Gumtree or similar for collection, or advertise them in your local newsagent's window. You won't get exposure to the many millions of potential buyers that Ebay provides you with, of course, meaning you'll achieve less (or no) sales and lower prices; but hey, you'll save on Ebay fees and stop feeling the need to whinge about them on public forums. Your adrenal glands and immune system will thank you for it. 🙂

Not eBay bots, LOL. Just someone with functioning brain cells, hoping to breathe life into all those non-functioning ones out there. 😉
