I agree. The fees alone are a joke, not to mention the lack of security with fake and hacked accounts. My boss at work tried selling his iphone 3 times, all 3 times the bid was either retracted after the sale or ebay sent a message saying the winners account had been comprimised. He gave up in the end :|
