e.g. for listing, for reserve pricing, for an 
extra picture, for having a buy it now price 
which once someone bids disappears, for a closing 
auction cost, et al. There are PLENTY OF reasons 
not to love evilbay as a seller. However they do 
offer a good venue where lots of people go to buy 
stuff. I completely agree that one can find good 
cels and other items. BUT on the same side of the 
coin it's evil b/c this venue due to its immense 
popularity literally encourages bidding wars and 
snipping. These last two occurances do not help 
make bidding on evilbay or any other online 
auction site a pleasure whatsoever! Yes these are 
the realities of auctions, but IMHO when buyers 
say happy bidding I practically cringe. As a 
buyer no one wants to pay anymore than they have 
to and if they can work an under the table deal, 
wonderful. However more often than not, sellers 
want buyers to stick to the venue and get caught 
up in bidding wars. For myself evilbay is a love-
hate relationship, I for one cannot love it 
wholeheartedly knowing what the service 
encourages and perpetuates. But on the other hand 
I do appreciate how it draws many people to its 
site, considerably moreso than pitiful Yahoo 
U.S.A. So when I weigh the scales of just 
how "evil" evilbay is, for myself, there is more 
bad than good. Everyone has differing 
experiences, but take them with a grain of salt. 
If you disagree thats cool, no need to flame. 
Just remember not everyone has been as fortunate 
as you as a buyer or a seller on ebay. PEACE!
