Ebay lost me when they quit covering non-ebay transactions. Transaction outside of Ebay, you're on your own. From what I've read, its the big institutional sellers that make ebay their money - they don't need or care about the little guys - more of a nuisance that anything.

I would welcome some serious competition against ebay, but they need to have their act together from the get go to be a player. Everyone's going to expect ebay performance and they won't get a lot of chances before they start turning off people.
