I'm seldom on there anymore, but occasionally I'll click around for stuff. It seems like the auction model is nearly dead. It is mostly Buy it Now or Best Offers. Which is ok, I guess. If I want something, I'd rather not wait a week to see if I get it. I'm sure there are some categories where an auction is more standard though.

This goes back a ways, but I recall first getting really pissed at them when they started essentially requiring Paypal and then also charging a seller fee for shipping charges. It was generally a relatively small amount, but the principle...shipping isn't profit to me. Why should ebay get another buck because it is $10 to ship? I guess it is to kill the deals that were $1 for the item and then "$100" for shipping. Still, it's BS.
