Did you ever sell yer sofa on ebay Sandie, the one you mentioned here last year?

well yes i sold it but then i had to un sell it cos our nice new leather set wouldnt fit up 6 flights of stairs. lol.

i gave it to randy raine in the end.

Made a offer of 9.99 for The Stone Tape DVD won it then got message to say it had been removed weird that.

Also just noticed that some sellers can make their feedback "Private" meaning you cannot actually view what feedback has been left other than overall percentage - when did this happen??
Seems Ebay wants to sweep their major sellers howlers under the carpet ... if somebody could come up with an alternative to Ebay and Paypal they would make an absolute packet.

Private feedback has been going some time my username is simontemplar62

Yes but your feedback isn't private Steve as I can see all the comments made about your bought/sold items ...
This is Private Feedback

new one to me!!

Yeah i chose to have Public Feedback

The problem is that it's a hen&egg situation. The value of ebay is not the software they have to administer the auctions, it is the people that use the site as buyers and sellers. That makes it hard to convince people to go elsewhere, because to make it worth to go elsewhere other people have to go elsewhere too, and who makes the start?

Some rivals exist in niche markets (e.g. in Germany: filmundo for movie-related items), but serious general-purpose rivals for ebay do not exist.
