I’ve been on eBay since 2009, as both buyer and private seller. I typically sell a few quality personal possessions of various sorts – ranging from clothes to antique furniture to electronics – and have 100% feedback. Put off by eBay’s recent introduction of Buyer Protection Fees and the mandatory use of "Simple Delivery" shipping, I have today withdrawn the last couple of mid-century vases I had for sale and will likely not return, except as an occasional buyer of small low value goods. What a pity! It had been such a good way of selling on items that cannot or should not be going to a charity shop or landfill. I hope, in time, another site will step up to fill the void that eBay are leaving.
