I've been on ebay since 1997 and haven't sold anything in the past 3 years. I used to sell only a few items each month, but the fees and rules (negatives) starting outweighing the positives. I now sell straight to other collectors or to a few dealers that I've gotten to know over the years.
I'm still a frequent shopper on ebay as my financial overlord (wife

) can attest to.
