Why does anyone need Black Friday when Ebay exists?

it's hard to push people down and get into a fistfight sitting at home ordering on eBay

Don't knock it.
'Roller derby' type shopping is the only exercise some of these plump women and their kids get. Does'em good to get off the couch once in a while.

I used to like ebay.
Now they suck.
I will never sell anything on ebay again.
They treat sellers like dirt.

That's true but it's a buyers' paradise.

Ebay is dishonest.

hard to get an 8000 inch led flat screen for a buck on feebay.even if you could the shipping would be 700 dollars and lost somewhere between a and b.still waiting for a book i ordered 3 weeks ago.ebay is great for smalls and vintage collectible stuff.i can order anything from a store website and get it shipped to the closest store for free.i still but stuff on ebay,usually stuff directly from china.if it is stuff i buy that is outsourced anyway ,i will buy the item directly from the chinese.fuck those american companies that produce nothing and slap their label on chinese shit. if i need and the chinese are the only ones making it i will buy directly from them.works out well for them and me.

not always.i find better stuff at better prices on local craigslist etc.flea markets and thrift stores are great too.i find some treasures then sell them to people on ebay and triple my money.then i buy silver with the profits.

yeah but there are some real suckers on there.i see people buying shit from menards home depot etc at twice the price i can buy it for in the store on sale.yeah ebay and paypal is gonna get you for about 15%.just gotta price it in.ordered some stuff from a store website.free shipping to store online special.will keep what i need and sell the rest on ebay for a profit.basically getting my items for free.

Cool!

if you have ever been a seller on ebay, selling items that are popular but not cheap, you will have seller wars.

what I mean is other sellers will try to mess up your ebay sales by creating fake accounts and bidding on items to win so that you have to go through the hassle of waiting a week, reporting them as non paying bidders just to get a refund of what ebay charged you for the "sale".

there are other ways too. but that's just an example.

Ebay went downhill once everyone and their uncle thought they could make a living off of it. These 'professional' resellers killed ebay.
Most times I can find same items elsewhere now for less, and don't have to worry about returns if there is an issue
