I've thought for a long time that whilst there may be an economic crisis for some people, it doesn't affect everybody. Some people have money, I see it all the time, in shops, restaurants, cars and leisure activies. There was no shortage of money, for instance, at the massive garden centre I went to yesterday - the sort with several franchised shops and 3 eateries. It was heaving inside, with long queues at the checkouts. The main roads leading to the garden centre were stationery with traffic for as far as the eye could see, because all the cars were queueing to get into the car park where there weren't any spaces. Maybe they're not the people who buy on ebay, I don't know. I do think we've become like the fictional "Tale of Two Cities" though, with the economy polarised between the "haves" and the "have nots". I guess the way to succeed on ebay is to sell products that appeal to the "haves".
