    I, too, started with Ebay circa the 'old Pez days'...man was it fun. It was actually a great selling forum until, I think 2006(?) when they adopted the "buyer is ALWAYS right even if they're trying to scam you" rule.
    Do any of you remember when you'd be able to leave feedback for something you didn't even buy/sell? Check out this guy-he was epic BITD-his comments STILL make me laugh!

    Wow! There's some pretty compelling stories here about good 'ol eBay! Truthfully, they jumped the shark back when they started unconditionally siding with the buyer (2002-'03?) even if said buyer was an outright thief. To this day I cannot understand how or why eBay would've done this. To me it's been relegated to buying cheap, dollar-store style shit from China. Phone accessories, etc. Gone are the really cool unique items from the attic. THAT stuff stopped somewhere around '06. Ebay is now the Walmart or the internet, and I do't mean that in a positive way.
