Comments on: Will eBay Prefer Fixed Price to Auctions? http://www.aspectsofhomebusiness.com/blog/general-home-business/ebay-fixed-price-or-auction/ Tips on running your home business.

All the negativity has me wondering. I gather they just dropped a ton of affiliates recently too, most of whom of course say they weren't doing anything wrong. Not knowing anything about the situation, who is to say why the affiliates were really dropped. But of course I really think it's how they treat both buyers and sellers that is going to matter in the long run, and it seems that sellers are having a harder time making money through eBay. But I'd still give them a few years before they're in too deep of trouble. No matter how hard you try, it takes time to ruin a community that big. Same here. All the negativity has me wondering.

But they've had so much negative publicity recently, I'm beginning to wonder. I personally don't like selling things through buy it now - I've had a few problems with Nigerian bidders and having to relist etc. But I can understand why some folk would find it useful.
