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.它曾經是你可以後你的項目在ebay支付小額費用和銷售你的項目而不勉強一個問題，今天如果你是一個經常性的人對ebay銷售模式，你必須把它像一個生意，為什麼呢？僅僅因為一個大型跨-第外地買家在e bay上買處於敵對的態度這樣做，像他們買得起，從業務不是一個個別的，它始於二十項質詢，對細節的廉價項目，你賣了，從顏色，它是如何被用來如何盡快將發運。不知你是假設為一個企業老闆當你調職，也許thats因為有這麼多的企業對ebay銷售模式。 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.大多數人的經驗是，其中一消費者向非關懷和非個人業務。代管的喬的倉庫裡賣的一個項目，並沒有出貨了一個月，你，因為你回答你的電子郵件和電話，成為目標對於高維修買方，事後你也成為一名客戶服務的人，請問這個項目的工作，您能否送我一個驅動下載嗎？我不指望刮刮嗎？這不是正是我所料，這一切是罰款除事實，即你賣你的項目（如）在網上以收回這些額外的現金流，所有當你被起訴，高昂的費用由雙方ebay和paypal為你的麻煩和交易，你的時間來包裝和船舶該項目也是因素數額的成本，以擺脫自己的違法對象，它似乎買方提防被人遺忘，取而代之的是一個簡單的方法來麻煩你到幫助，如果你不惜反复和粗魯的電子郵件，你很可能會鬆脫你們的一些反饋。這當然是終極武器。騙子經常倒裝ebay的帳戶想擴充在眾議院擴充，但對你的反饋是喜歡你的信用。敵對買方將只是一個即將離開壞的意見，作為發送電子郵件。
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? 得到的東西說什麼呢？
I think you nailed it, specifically shipping.我想你釘在這，特別是航運。 I love selling, I’ll even pay the fee but I HATE SHIPPING especially to other countries.我愛賣吧，我連付學費，但我最討厭航運特別是到其他國家。 I won’t even ship to Mexico or Canada anymore.我不會連船到墨西哥或加拿大了。 Its too much trouble.它太麻煩。
So what about the Rise of Craigslist part?那麼崛起craigslist的一部分？
Did you read the end?你有沒有看過到底嗎？
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.我已賣出2條筆記本電腦和其他電腦零件上的craigslist （如解釋aboved ）舉手之勞，什麼都賣48小時內與我什至得到報價，我問，因為我從來沒有使用電子海灣出售項目，也沒有我有我買東西，它，從來沒有像招投標制。
Well, I am one of those businesses that used to sell on EBay.好，我是其中一人的企業所使用的銷售上標註。 In fact my company started from selling a few items on EBayevery day.其實，我的公司開始出售少數項目上ebayevery天。 Like others, however, EBay holds little appeal nowadays albeit for different reasons.同其他國家一樣，然而，在ebay並沒有太大的吸引力如今雖然原因不盡相同。 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.我們的分析認定，除非你是一個製造商，或有一些令人難以置信的清關或折扣源，你根本無法作出經常性利潤ebay上如今。 In many ways, tthe mixing of Business and Personal listings may spell the demise of both.在許多方面， tthe混合企業和個人的上市可能意味著消亡兩者。
