I must be missing something about the "advantages" of using Ebay, based
on it's tremendous popularity, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.
The entire thing is set up so that the middle man (Ebay) can make money
on a transaction. That's all well and good, for Ebay, and I'm sure this
procedure attracts a whole bunch of people based on Ebay's financial
position, but I just don't get the attraction.

What you're paying for is the exposure, which is nothing like any classified
ad that you could hope to place (and pay for, I'll remind you). Imagine an
ad that is seen in the entire U.S., what would that exposure be worth? The
amount that ebay receives is just a pittance when compared to what coverage
like that would otherwise cost.

You should try it!
