I wish I understood selling on eBay. I don't know how I'd pack it and get it sent off though, since I'm housebound.

In terms of the "buys" on eBay, have you caught the news on telly recently talking about the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of things stolen from the National Disease Centers... and auctioned on eBay? Intensely expensive spectrometers and microscopes... and then after that there was a news snippet about huge HUGE losses at Wal*Mart and the things auctioned on eBay.

I'm not enamoured of eBay to the extend that I bought a rug that looked great in the pictures, but when I got it the colors in the rug had been enhanced with magic markers.

And eBay did nothing. The shipping charges had been very high, and I thought, foolishly, that was because the item was worth far more than it might be sold for at auction...

I was taken.
