Oh my.

I just noticed something.

The new DU doesn't seem to have a jobs forum.

Skins however made sure they have a riding-the-disability-gravy-train forum.

For as much of a pain in the ass that eBay has become, is there a better option?

1. There are options...

Depending on what you're selling...for instance, I deal in vinyl records. Discogs has come up as a viable alternative to Ebay...you can actually set the price you want and they only charge 3% at the end...look around to see if you can find other companies dealing with what you'e selling on ebay.

The vindictive primitive, the notorious re-seller who buys Wedgewood China at Dollar General prices and sells made-in-China china at Wedgewood China prices:

2. I've pretty much gone back to selling at a group shop instead of online.

Not getting rich, but a whole lot less of a hassle

Do the DUchebags sell old junk to get walking around cash that they don't report so they can stay stealing money form honest and decent working people?

I suspect that's the motive for many of the primitive re-sellers.

But really, they'd be better off just taking a job in the local factory.  More money, less anxiety about money problems.

Exactly! They work harder getting freeeeeeeeeeeeee stuff than just working a job and being productive.
