The death threats were bad enough, but when they tried finding where I lived, then posted what they thought was my address - and urged others to go take care of me - I gave up posting. I hate the way the 'global superhighway' has in many ways become a 'global bad neighborhood.' I stopped posting in public fora using my real name shortly after my name showed up on the cover of a book - man, the resentment and anger from all the 'couldn't get published' people, I swear. I hate the spam and scams and various attempted exploits (I don't even bother trying to figure out how many hundreds I get daily anymore). I don't think we were happier - I think eCommerce was less formal, more personal, and less scam-riddled. I hosted my own images on my web server (at my ISP's site), which I uploaded with our dialup modem. Windows was only at 98, or 98SE if you wanted better results. and ebayĮBay of 1998 didn't have easy pictures, if it even had pictures. I will try to keep my listings alive but I know for sure there will be a lot less listings which means less money for me.

Way back when there was actually a community feel to it all. The ebay community doesn't exist (unless it is here in forums about complaints) anymore. Over the years ebay have made it harder and harder to sell as they try to control users more and more. but the fun is going, dissipating very quickly. Now it's just something I like to do for fun (and it funds the stuff I like to buy). it was great when I was young and at uni and needed some extra cash. I assume I will be listing all my items once a month (and perhaps then deleting them) just to keep them all alive.

I assume I will have to create new listings for those items not included or find away to export them from TL to sellers hub (and I don't think there is a way) (well there might be if you use the ebay file exchange service).Įither way it is a pain. only the ones I have listed over the last 3 months. The unsold items in sellers hub though doesn't have all my TL items. I have 2000+ listings on TL which I rotate and put up when they have the list free promotions.
