I helped create a company that provided tools for eBay sellers - I left it last year and it's since been acquired by what used to be our biggest competitor. The market and marketplace has been changing for some time. The old experience has certainly changed. I've found myself still buying from eBay but rarely sell - most of my online purchases are made on Amazon (best general prices, usually free shipping and no tax). I also end up buying a lot off Craigslist from local sellers - especially good for heaving items like tools and equipment. I seem to sell more on "Trade" forums than anywhere.
