I posted in another thread too but If you are looking for a good replacement for eBay, try Bonanzle. They are growing by leaps & bounds and everything is free until you sell. It's not an auction format, you set the price you want for you items. Some think that's good, others not so much.
If you want to check it out, the link is in my sig line. If you want to join, I can send you an invite if you e-mail me (I don't get anything from it, just recognition I referred someone). Or you can just join using the link below but I won't get recognition (they track "Users Invited" in your profile - looks good if you have a few
).
Sorry you had so much trouble with eBay but I stopped selling there in April when I joined Bonanzle. eBay fees were getting so high, no customer service to speak of and no protection for sellers.
Now if I could only dump Paypal but it seems everyone is using it. I'm pushing Revolution Money Exchange (RME) to try to get away from Paypal but so far not many people use it.
