People you are better off, I started on ebay in 1997, it was painful to organise items, appreciate what you have been given to make your life easier.
As a seller it makes things more expensive as now we can't accept direct deposits as payment we have to not only pay the percentage to Paypal in the first place but pay more to pretty much register every item sent as any buyer can put in a claim that it was lost in the mail and get the item and their money refunded.
