~ I recently sold something on eBay (not a vacuum cleaner). The final sale price was $3000.00.
Take a look at eBay's fee for this transaction ... THIRTEEN PERCENT. And that's in addition to PayPal's fees -- I haven't yet gotten their invoice.
I'll never use that @#$%&$% site again.

When eBay bought PayPal to keep everything in-house, that was when fees escalated to insane levels. Kevin |

Charles, I have all but stopped using "cheatBay" to sell (and many times buy) items. Shipping prices are outrageous these days, and the fees being charged to the seller are stupidly high. My wife "sold" a camera on eBay some time ago and the buyer turned out to be a sham and didn't pay for the item (one of those deals they didn't want to use PayPal, but rather Western Union, blah blah blah, etc). She notified eBay of such, telling them the transaction never happened, etc.....guess what...they STILL hit her account for nearly $70 in fees........needless to say, she was NOT happy in the slightest! Besides that, it seems the seller these days has ZERO protection against someone filing a fraudulent claim and them getting the money taken BACK out of their account, AND possibly not getting the item back either.....That's a big NOPE for me! Hate to see you got hit so hard too.....

I only use eBay to look for Fantom Vacuum Cleaners and parts, I don't normally sell on there. I only stick to Craigslist or OfferUp. eBay is a ok site, BUT I think it needs some fixing.
When I am online looking for Fantom stuff, I ALWAYS see "Fantom Scrappers". What a Fantom Scrapper is, is my own definition to people who tear apart perfectly working Fantom Vacuums then sell each part for like $30 a piece. I HATE to see those types of sellers! And currently, there is this guy who took apart an ORIGINAL Fantom 11 Amp Vacuum and is selling EVERY PART for a steep price for each! And I also HATE people who sell the Fantom attachments separately for like $10 a piece! Now, I have no problem for the people who sell like 1 or 3 parts for a normal price, but the people who tear down a complete Fantom to sell each part should be banned. People should not be able to sell parts like that, but if eBay wants to keep it like that, eBay should make it that you could only post 3 parts at a time. This could also apply to other things besides Fantoms. What do you guys think? |

First off, that first comment was funny lol.
But to respond to what you said, I do agree that the parters do offer a good service, but I think sometimes they can get carried away with the prices. I mean, I think there should be a limit to how much you can post. But since I take my Fantom's serious, I take those scrappers to heart more. |
