EBay was wonderful, like most services it started off with normal people buying and selling their junk or stuff. Then you have sellers coming in to &quot;make a living&quot; on Ebay flooding the market with retail priced items. You&#x27;ve got buyers coming in who don&#x27;t pay. These are hard problems to solve and have hurt other platforms. I have lots of stuff to sell, but I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;d turn to EBay and have to compete with the flood of actual junk.<p>Pinterest has so much marketing spam now it is painful.
Etsy has turned to the mass production sellers to turn up profits.<p>Increasing the bid when a bid is places is infuriating, if you want that stuff go to the penny bidding sites. Sniping only happens if you didn&#x27;t set your bid to a level you were comfortable paying. If someone goes over that bid then you aren&#x27;t out anything you weren&#x27;t ready to part with.
