I can look at it both ways. Without ebay and all the customers they bring to me each and every day, would I be able to sell the things I do for the prices the sell at? Hell no. Ebay is a rare thing and you can try and build another site, but it would take years to develop what ebay has given us. Sure, they do take a lot of money and paypal can be the biggest fucks there is, but without them, I wouldn't make near as much money as I do. They are a necessary evil in order to make the money that I do. I have to tolerate them. Especially when I can sell DVD's, CD's, and rare games for $50 plus. I love that.
