To make things even worse, back in October 2008.&lt;br&gt;ebay had announced they would be doing away with checks and money orders.&lt;br&gt;Leaving paypal as the only method of payment.  Most people will look back at the&lt;br&gt;year 2008. The year of greed! I think ebay shot them selfs in the foot. By doing away&lt;br&gt;with checks and money orders! Lot of unhappy sellers as well as bidders planning on&lt;br&gt;leaving ebay. Because ebay always increasing there fees. Some sellers can not make&lt;br&gt;a profit.  I found more new auction sites popping up. However, some sites have been&lt;br&gt;around for awhile. For example, Auctionfire, Bidmonkey, BidonUSA, Bidtopia,  Blujay,&lt;br&gt;Bonanzle, &lt;a href="http://Ebid.net" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Ebid.net"&gt;Ebid.net&lt;/a&gt;,  Ecrater, ePier, iOffer, OnlineAuction, Tulsabids. please support these&lt;br&gt;fine auctions sites too. Don't let ebay be the only online auction site! Good Luck!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Bob</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2009 14:47:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: eBay buys three companies for $1.35 billion, lays off 1,000</title><link>http://venturebeat.com/2008/10/06/ebay-buys-three-companies-lays-off-1000/#comment-2895175</link><description>&lt;p&gt;They have been creating an unfriendly environment for sellers for a long time, and now their profits are beginning to show it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Melanie</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:06:17 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: eBay buys three companies for $1.35 billion, lays off 1,000</title><link>http://venturebeat.com/2008/10/06/ebay-buys-three-companies-lays-off-1000/#comment-2893539</link><description>&lt;p&gt;And soon ebay will be acquired by Google be sure of this!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michael</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:18:56 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
