I used to buy and sell quite a few items on there. Here is what I've noticed:

Fees are crazy - figure 10% in transaction fees.

Buy it Now seems to be the norm. What happened to auctions?

Dickheads and scammers - I sold a Louis Vuitton purse for my GF and I've never had so many con artists send me emails with the craziest questions and requests. This was over the top but nearly everything I sell is a parade of dumbfucks asking to end the auction early or some other crazy plan to somehow fuck me over.

What's eBay's plan? Amazon has got such a head start that there is no way for them to catch up. Seems only a matter of time before some other upstart auction site starts up and moves most of the traffic.
