I hate...

I hate ebay auctions that aren't really auctions. From time to time I like to do a search through ebay's real estate section looking for places on trout streams. I just completed a search ~~ three parcels came up ~~ none of them were real auctions. They were all three fixed priced auctions and all you were bidding on was the "down payment." My rant ~~ if it is a real estate listing, then list it with a company. If it is not a real auction then don't put it on ebay.

The most difficult thing I have had to accept in my life is that others will not always measure up to MY expectations. I know what you mean about the way e-bay operates today, vs the way it used to be. So many "auctions" are nothing more than an offer to sell at the sellers price. Not much of an auction as I know auctions.

So much for there new commercials..."It's Better if you win it."

I've gotta agree. Don't call a sell an auction unless it's really an auction.

Here here!

Also you should be able to separate the "new" stuff (cheap imported rubbish) from the genuine "used" stuff that you really want to browse through when you do a search.
