Before you didn't have to pay sales tax, and your earnings weren't reported to the gov't. AND it wasn't filled with cheap Chinese shit, and people weren't there looking to make a quick buck. It was just a website for selling your old stuff, and sometimes you got lucky. It used to be good for both buyers, and sellers.
Then it all went to shit. The website is okay now, but compared to its glory days, it sucks. Although one thing I have to say is, they did get better at cracking down on fraud. There was a period where people were scamming people with misleading photos, and text. Now that gets you a lifetime ban, and then some.
eBay may have lost something in translation, but in regards to finding people listing used / pre-owned like new products, it shits on almost every alternative still.
If you're a collector, be it figures, statues.. anything, really, you can find a lot of rare stuff there. And that's really a massive point over Amazon and such.
PayPal and eGay are shit, used to be a decent side hustle...
Listings by small users get flagged for knife/gun related stuff. Meanwhile "power sellers" can peddle the same shit with impunity? Eff em!
Yup. eBay used to be so good before.
