A relative who sells on ebay told me this past year was the worst since a high in 2006. Said the Paypal thing hurt because he sells antique/collectible items and about half of his buyers were paying with check/money order. Said he hopes someone will come up with a new site that will be what ebay used to be, that the alternatives like amazon, etsy, etc. don’t work for the antiques/collectible items that sell for whatever those interested are willing to pay for them.
