Another Aspect of whu my Armoury got so screwed up this year

Until recently, I liked to brag about the fact that I was the first ever armor business to sell new product on ebay way back in 2000, for years, I never needed to even go out and merchant at events and since 2002, ebay became 60-70% of my income, and at many points a year ago, I was approaching 6 figures there. Then it all died, most of the problems described in this article started impacting me in vaves in March, July and August most with less than 30 days notice. Obviously, my mistake was to put all my eggs in one basket, however, there really aren't any other baskets there, and dummy me, I still can't comprehend or react to a business that is intentionally trying to destroy itself, the stockholders can't reverse the policies, as of July, ebay holds over half of it's own outstanding shares.

But read this, it is a good read.

I used to sell a lot of different armoring pieces there as well; Now I've moved to Ebid.net. While its not quite as good as ebay in its heyday, it's WAY cheaper. And you can leave feedback as a Seller AND Buyer.
