I would like to thank all the sellers who DUMPED their garbage onto eBay because they could list that trash for free, thank you for making my eBay experience that much more better.

Now the buyers will want everything for a buck. I don't think ebay realizes the damage that the FLDs do to the sensitive markets on ebay, at least the low-end items markets. Unless they want to disuade sellers from listing those low-end items in the first place.

I have to agree. I was shopping for a fax machine yesterday. There were so many pages - even when I narrowed my search and so many of them were "untested", or "as is" that on page 9 I finally gave up - I'm headed to Sams club in a few hours to just buy one there. Oh, and one seller had about 9 of them listed (that I noticed - probably more) and his description for each of them was the same - "Looks good, Looks like it works good". What the H*** is that? I did the ask the seller a question and listed about 10 things including shipping cost to my zip code. Basic things like "Have you tested the machine, does it work, does it use ink or thermal paper". Never heard back from him.

You're much better off buying everyday electronic items locally rather than on ebay unless the ebay item is way lower then a local item and the seller has great return/refund rules and feedback rating.
There's good and bad things with everything in life. With every wish fullfilled there lies a hidden curse.
