Right you pretty much can't use it as a business model but frankly all I want to do is use it to unload stuff I don't want any more but still holds significant value so them taking about 25% of the value still nets me 75% more cash than just giving it away or dumping it. It's to the point now where I can't even do that any more, selling my iphone netted me about nine unique bidders and about six of them were new accounts and/or under 10 feedback. These aren't legitimate account, almost certainly scammers buying things with stolen credit cards. Only three of the bidders were in the us, that was a mistake to open it up world wide.

I have bought and sold some expensive things on ebay and it's just a shame to see it turn to crap. I don't want to use craigslist either, mainly because I don't want to meet the people on craigslist. Lately my best transactions have just been posting things on forums.
