Ebay used to be a means of connecting individual buyers and sellers. Back in the olden days, it was "Hey, Guy! I just got your money order. I'm shipping your stuff out tomorrow! Enjoy your Shining Force!" Now, it's just a big storefront, and buyers have a different perception - Half of 'em think they're dealing with Walmart. I've had people griping that they bought incompatible accessories and wanting me to send the right one. I've had people complaining that their Priority Mail'd item didn't arrive cross-country overnight. I even "ruined a poor little boy's Christmas" because I wouldn't refund a lady her money and let her keep a "broken" game.

For the amount of fees I'm paying, and the quality of buyers I'm getting, it's not worth it for me. If I were selling high-dollar items, or items targeted at a different demographic, maybe I'd have a different outlook. I'd rather sell things for 25% less on Craigslist and have cash in hand.
