        There are lots of people these days who will sell your stuff on ebay for you - I have seen 20-25% commission, but no hassles. You just drop it off (although I guess they could pick up), they list it, package, send it off and send you a cheque when done. One I know of doesn't charge if your item doesn't sell, although I guess they know what sells and what doesn't so would say no if you were wasting your/their time.

            mmm....I spend about £25k a month with ebay, not really had a problem, I did buy some gold the other day which turned out to be fake (after I acid tested it) I have a help desk number that ebay gave me as I'm a 'special customer' they refunded the purchase cost circa 2k so I didn't have to chase the seller.

            Not really had much to complain about, except the fee's are very high, as are paypals fees.

            I've been with eBay for 6 years now.
