"by refusing to use Ebay Tikiskip is saying "I don't like it - so I'm not going to participate".

I do need to come clean on that one I do use eBay just don't look at the
tiki stuff anymore as the stuff I would want mostly goes to the same person
9 out of 10 times.

If I needed a part for my Hobart dishwasher from the 1940s or some odd thing, man eBay is the
place.
BUT I try to buy the stuff others are not looking at to make tiki.
You can still find on eBay even with shipping great stuff.

I also sell on eBay, not as much lately.

EBay has this crappy the buyer is always right attitude that blows.
The fact is the seller is eBay's customer and they should treat their customer (the seller)
with more respect or they will find they have lots of buyers with not many sellers.
The system eBay now has is one where the seller is the whore for eBay the pimp really.

And eBay gets paid in so many ways for the sale.
They get the selling fees and the Pay Pal fees, this is why you can't have insurance for
your sale in the final sale price as eBay could not charge a percent for insurance costs.
So insurance is good for the buyer, but since we can't make a dime on it it's out.

I do like those mugs though, they are cool.
Plus eBay and TC give you a way to see stuff you never knew was out there in the first place.
