I can't believe the complaining about E-bay. If you don't like them, don't use them. What did you do before there was an E-bay? Newspaper? Hemmings? You think they gave you free ads? You can list items for sale right here on FABO or on Craig's list (and probably many others) for Free! If you list stuff for sale on E-bay, you just have to do what all businesses do, factor the costs into the price you charge. E-bay is not cheating you. You know the costs before you list your item. I think it's a wonderful resource, to buy and sell.
