If you are serious about selling move off of ebay and create your own site. ebay has a credibility problem is correct as they will let anybody sell there and everybody knows that. the plethora of competition and the amount of merchants lead to a diminishing return where the house always wins and the seller will lose.

I posted a while back about my experience with UBid and how you practically have to jump through hoops to sell there.

Put some barrier of entry in place for new sellers, it can be in form of financial information verification and some initial setup fees 2. Allow scalability for large eBay sellers, like a diminishing listing fees and rate according to sale revenue and sell through rate 3. eBay has to start rewarding sellers with a good track record My 0.02 <a HREF="http://www.mypopcornmachine.com" rel="nofollow">Popcorn Machine</A> I think the biggest problem with eBay right now that they need to:
