It used to be that you could post your item on eBay pay small fees and sell your item without barely a question. Today if you are a regular person selling on eBay you have to treat it like a business. Why? Simply because a large cross-section of buyers on eBay, buy in a hostile manner and do so like they are buying from a business not a individual. It starts with 20 questions on the details on the cheap item you are selling from color, how it is to be used, how quickly it will be shipped. Somehow you are assumed to be a business owner when you are posting, maybe thats because there are so many businesses selling on eBay.它曾经是你可以后你的项目在ebay支付小额费用和销售你的项目而不勉强一个问题，今天如果你是一个经常性的人对ebay销售模式，你必须把它像一个生意，为什么呢？仅仅因为一个大型跨-第外地买家在e bay上买处于敌对的态度这样做，像他们买得起，从业务不是一个个别的，它始于二十项质询，对细节的廉价项目，你卖了，从颜色，它是如何被用来如何尽快将发运。不知你是假设为一个企业老板当你调职，也许thats因为有这么多的企业对ebay销售模式。 Most people’s experience is one of consumer to non-caring and non-personal business. By proxy of Joe’s warehouse selling an item and not shipping it for a month, you because you answer your emails and phone calls, become a target for the high maintenance buyer. Afterwards you become a customer service person. How does this item work? Can you send me a driver download? I wasn’t expecting a scratch there? This isn’t exactly what I expected. All of this is fine except for the fact that you sold your item (as is) online to recover extra cash. All the while you were charged exorbitant fees by both eBay and Paypal for your trouble and transaction. Your time to package and ship the item also factors into the amount of cost to rid yourself of the offending object. It seems buyer beware has been forgotten, replaced with a easy way to hassle you into helping. If you balk at the repeated and rude emails you are likely to loose some of your feedback. This of course is the ultimate weapon. Regular scammers flip eBay accounts like Pancakes at the House of Pancakes but for you your feedback is like your credit. The hostile buyer would just a soon leave bad feedback as send a email.大多数人的经验是，其中一消费者向非关怀和非个人业务。代管的乔的仓库里卖的一个项目，并没有出货了一个月，你，因为你回答你的电子邮件和电话，成为目标对于高维修买方，事后你也成为一名客户服务的人，请问这个项目的工作，您能否送我一个驱动下载吗？我不指望刮刮吗？这不是正是我所料，这一切是罚款除事实，即你卖你的项目（如）在网上以收回这些额外的现金流，所有当你被起诉，高昂的费用由双方ebay和paypal为你的麻烦和交易，你的时间来包装和船舶该项目也是因素数额的成本，以摆脱自己的违法对象，它似乎买方提防被人遗忘，取而代之的是一个简单的方法来麻烦你到帮助，如果你不惜反复和粗鲁的电子邮件，你很可能会松脱你们的一些反馈。这当然是终极武器。骗子经常倒装ebay的帐户想扩充在众议院扩充，但对你的反馈是喜欢你的信用。敌对买方将只是一个即将离开坏的意见，作为发送电子邮件。
It seems that eBay is no longer the online garage sale that had made it so popular. After all you wouldn’t have all these home business owners getting rich on eBay if it were a internet garage sale. The problem is, that was the attraction of it all. You easily post an item you no longer want and someone buys that item. It also used to be that everything was used on eBay not just one more e-commerce site. Now its the first stop for your new Nintendo Wii purchase. Why is this? Sure there’s deals to be found and used items that are inexpensive on eBay but lately a quick search of amazon will show you that the deal you thought was so great may not be a deal at all. So as a buyer you get ripped off and don’t get the service and support that comes from a reputable dealer. For instance if you buy your Nintendo Wii for $275 from BestBuy you at least have a multi million dollar corporation to go to when the Wii fails to work instead of Nintendoboy1984’s virtual shrug. It makes you wonder what people are thinking when they are making a purchase.
This brings us to Craigslist, a quick look at the Alexa rankings of Craigslist.org compared to eBay shows some strange activity over the last 5 years. Now I know that Alexa is constantly gamed and it not a accurate depiction of traffic but when you are dealing with such huge sites such as Craigslist and eBay the numbers get very hard to fudge. Basically it reads that Craigslist traffic is accelerating and eBay’s numbers are deflating. Why might this be? The easy answers are money and hassle.
I had the opportunity to sell on both eBay and Craigslist in the last week. The experience on Craigslist was one of quickly posting an item, someone nearby coming to get the item, and getting paid in cold hard cash without giving anyone one extra dime. The experience on eBay was post the item, wait several days, get asked a million questions as to where the item can be shipped to, can I end my auction early, and tons of details questions asked. The after purchase feeling was less bright also as you get to ship the item and then respond to impatient buyers wanting to know “where there item was” after one day. My feelings sunk yet again when I added up how much I actually made from all that trouble and how much Paypal and then eBay sucked out of the transaction.
At the end of the day I just cannot justify using a service such as eBay to post items unless I am actively running a business. This from former huge fan of eBay, it would be like me lamenting over a Apple product. The thing is if Apple products became a pain to deal with AND costly I would no longer be a fan of their product either. So eBay I bid Adieu to you, no more guilt of feedback and wasted money, Craigslist has won my heart with its simplicity and price (free). I have found that I can sell nearly anything worth selling on Craigslist and I can spend only a couple of minutes to do it. The best part is when I sell to someone buying off of Craigslist I am selling to a person looking to get a good deal and willing to take a chance but better yet I selling an item not a contract to devote my time.

Got something to say? 得到的东西说什么呢？
I think you nailed it, specifically shipping.我想你钉在这，特别是航运。 I love selling, I’ll even pay the fee but I HATE SHIPPING especially to other countries.我爱卖吧，我连付学费，但我最讨厌航运特别是到其他国家。 I won’t even ship to Mexico or Canada anymore.我不会连船到墨西哥或加拿大了。 Its too much trouble.它太麻烦。
So what about the Rise of Craigslist part?那么崛起craigslist的一部分？
Did you read the end?你有没有看过到底吗？
I have sold 2 laptops and other computer parts on Craigslist with (like explained aboved) little effort, everything sold within 48 hours and I even got the price I asked for I never used Ebay to sell an item nor I have I bought anything from it, never like the bidding system.我已卖出2条笔记本电脑和其他电脑零件上的craigslist （如解释aboved ）举手之劳，什么都卖48小时内与我什至得到报价，我问，因为我从来没有使用电子海湾出售项目，也没有我有我买东西，它，从来没有像招投标制。
Well, I am one of those businesses that used to sell on EBay.好，我是其中一人的企业所使用的销售上标注。 In fact my company started from selling a few items on EBayevery day.其实，我的公司开始出售少数项目上ebayevery天。 Like others, however, EBay holds little appeal nowadays albeit for different reasons.同其他国家一样，然而，在ebay并没有太大的吸引力如今虽然原因不尽相同。 Our analysis finds that unless you are a manufacturer, or have some incredible clearance or discounted source, you simply cannot make a recurring profit on EBay nowadays.我们的分析认定，除非你是一个制造商，或有一些令人难以置信的清关或折扣源，你根本无法作出经常性利润ebay上如今。 In many ways, tthe mixing of Business and Personal listings may spell the demise of both.在许多方面， tthe混合企业和个人的上市可能意味着消亡两者。
