Alpha Consumer readers recently debated eBay's new policies, which raise fees on items that sell but lower them for those that don't. Many readers, particularly high-volume sellers, expressed frustration and anger over the change.

I discussed the debate over the weekend on WTOP; you can listen here.

eBay failure

I wonder if eBay is headed by a foreigner...maybe from china? That would explain the mystery

paypal and its ways.

whenever I pay for something on Paypal, whenever possible I pay with my credit card, but doing so, I have to deal with: for starters, the option to change to credit card is VERY SMALL and HIDEN, once you find the option, THEN, you still have to go several prompts, asking you if your REALLY want to use your credit card, it is only THEN, after breaking all these obstacles, your are able to utilize your credit card........ mmmmmmmmmmmh.

just for though.
