This is a suggestion for all posters to keep threads cleaner. Don't quote 10 different posts in one. The eyes just glaze over when so much info is presented at once. Paraphrasing is much better. Also reduce the clutter in signatures. Post a couple of your books, images or quotes from famous personages if you must but 10-15? Way to busy. I spend more time scrolling than I do reading.

 

Cheers, Howard

 

PS In this thread no more martial arts posts please. You are making a tougher read even tougher.

I see folks agree with me just never speak up. It's really ok. Don't let the few intimidate you.

...to remain in their unbiased 3rd Party status..... that would probably not be feasible. GOD BLESS...

Agreed,plus comic books would become even more of a niche, then it is now without EBay. Thousand of comic books are sold on EBay, so too lose that venue would be devastating for the casual seller.

One thing is the keys should be ok, as they will still be sold on the big auction sites.

Despite what the opinion article would have you believe, eBay is not going anywhere. Will there be some changes? Sure. But what company doesn't change to keep up with the times? eBay has and will continue to evolve.

 

Will the money order come back now that PAYPAL moved on?

Just curious.

I sure hope so. I absolutely loved having to leave my house, waste my gas, and wait in line for 10 minutes just so I could buy a MO. The best part was putting it into an envelope only to realize I was all out of stamps.

 

Those were the days.

The money order was one of my two secret ways to get deals on EBay.

I would specifically look for auctions that would only accept money orders because I knew the bidding would be less.

Usually the prices would be much lower for money order auctions then Paypal ones

.

My other secret was to bid on EBay auctions that had no pictures.

I would just go by the feedback that the seller was good at grading.

I did the same with auctions without pics. It wouldn't bother me to buy without pics from sellers today as long as they head positive condition/grade feedback. I had at least 1000 purchases prior to pics and rarely had problems and none that couldn't be resolved. Would you still buy like that today ?

I'm sure PayPal will still partner with eBay, just like they did before eBay acquired them. I don;t see why there would be animosity between them... it's shareholder Icahn that's forcing the split as it benefits him in some complicated way. I've read at least one analyst that feels that PayPal, untethered to eBay, could actually become the world's single largest financial institution.

 

I'm not sure how easy it will be for eBay to overcome its debt without owning PayPal however. But a few billion here or there probably isn't as hard to raise as it once was.
