Hi, I’m a regular on the Q&A board. You’ve probably noticed that the banner ads at the top of the page are gone. Sweetness was using that as a small source of money to offset the cost of maintaining these boards.
Now that Google has cut off that option, she needs another way of financing this site. If you enjoy chatting here and would like these boards to continue, consider making a small donation to help with the cost. $10/month would go a long way to keep the site going. There’s a “donation” link on the homepage that goes through Paypal.

Hi Karl. Happy this place exists as I really learned a lot from the DNF. My questions were almost always answered satisfactorily. eBay can’t stand free speech or any type of constructive criticism; it’s nice to know they can’t stop it everywhere

For those of you who remember Vlad or Vladuz the hacker that was such a pain for eBay, he was just sentenced to a three year suspended sentence, and he and his friends were ordered to repay eBay $52k in damages.
It is estimated (by eBay) that he cost the company $7 million.

I answered your latest email with my new email addy, but it had to go through eBay so they (eBay) might not have let it get through to you. We all know how eBay tries to keep ‘folks’ apart. Did you get that email?

Thank you Selinda I knew someone would know.
I only ever visited two non threaded chat boards on eBay “International Trading” and the “Canada Board”
I was never a big eBay seller and haven’t sold anything in over a year now.
Altogether in an account I opened in 2000 I had just over 690 sales mainly clearing out my basement and loft.
I liked eBay better when it was like an online garage sale.
It is still usefull for tracking down unusual items that you could spend years searching junk stores for and never find.
eBay is great for brining unique or rare items together with the people looking for them.
I have bought lots of components for vintage and antique radios on eBay.

colmustard
Hello all,
I don’t agree with tony as I have found eBay to be one of the best places to sell for years now. Thousands of folks have made some extra spending money on eBay for over 20 years. I have consistantly made extra dollars for over 15 years myself. I have tried other online sites and they all come up lacking for buyers. eBay has the buyers if you are willing to sell for a small profit and use care in selecting your items. I sell utility items that anyone can get a most local stores and do very well. It all depends on what you put into it. Some pain, some gain. Attitude is everything online! -

Just a note to say hi and will be lurking in the rafters. Getting a bit busy with orders which is very good for a change. Blatant advertising here:
visit my store for unique gifts and more on eBay. Just plug in the col.mustard 5 Star Store 5 in search. New Dominoe sets and Sunglasses and small goodies to make life a bit easier. Some nice plastic playing cards also, all at bargain prices. -

Unfortunately, ‘those that voted for him last time’ are the 50% of this country that are on welfare or the public dole and pay no taxes.
IF this continues, this country will fail in less than four years.
EVERY vote counts. Get out there and vote. Vote for the idiot of your choice, but VOTE.
Personally, I am favor of making it a requirement that EVERYONE vote, or you can’t get any Government assistance or any services from the Government, like an ID card.

Hi Colmustard.. thanks.. just trying to figure out how to make the chat easy to read for everyone with smaller monitors..
It’s nice not having eBay breath down our necks.. but I think they got rid of the chats because they were starting that stupid shopping cart thing and didn’t want anyone venting about it.
Everyone can vent all they want here..

(((Tony))). See you have found your way over here. And I think Johnd70 has too. Pass the word on to other DNFers!
I like the way these boards work. And this place has many, many of the old eBay chat boards. But I read on some of the other boards here, that the whole Ultimatechat site had a few ‘concerns’ the past few days.
but it reminded me of the eBay chats a few years ago. BUT the creator of these boards, Sweetness, has done a supurb job of creating these boards and corrects problems very quickly.p.s.
There are still a few things I haven’t learned about this place, but I am learning! And besides, I’m not the “sharpest tool in the toolbox”! -

Oops! Make that the “Political Debate Board” that is provided here.

Wish many more DNFers would show up. Although, I ‘rather hope’ that those who only post ‘political’ posts will contain all their ‘political nonsense’ to the “Political Board” that is provided here.

Hi Sweetness,
Call Verizon or Sprint or any good high dollar advertising company. They will look at the venue and then tell you what they think. Seems like the communication giants would certainly want to show up here. Just some ideas.
Or, you could call eBay and see if they like to advertise to their users. grinnin here:>) -

Hi James.. I just noticed your post to me.. could you give me some links to look to adding on ads? I didn’t really want to add any, but I might have to do it to keep the site running as we may need to move to a larger server.

mobygrape
same here James,,, it was an weekend thing,,, in Richmond Va,,, lasted for many years,,, but i got where i could not continue,,,
i can remember us fellow flea’ers would laugh about;;; “if it was not for the buying and trading with each other we would go broke…i also sell on other sites and they do fairly good,,, i mainly list paper items on ebay now,,, due to the shipping fees imposed by ebay,,,
but when an item on the other site sets too long i will list it on ebay,,, i do like ebay’s auction format,,, to sell on ebay now you really
have to catch the promo’s ,,, i try to keep my fees at 12% too 18%,,, so-far i’ve been pretty lucky with it…
anyway,,, i really do not have a big beef with ebay,,, i sell very little there,,, but i do hate it for some of the other’s whom put ebay on the map,,,but again,,, there not much one can do…
-
mobygrape
don’t know
-
Where are are they old DNFers?
-
mobygrape
James,,, you only hi-lite what i’m saying “ ebay is slowly eliminating small sellers”
ebay is basically saying;;; “ hey”,,, “thanks for getting us to the top,,, but we really don’t need you anymore”…
i have been in the flea market for 30 years,,, “i’ve done a-lot of scratching in those 30 years”,,, (lol,,, just a quick funny),,,
anyway,,, half of flea market sales are with other flea marketers,,, that’s 50% of the game,,,
so,,, as the small sellers go,,, so do the traders and/or buyers,,, no rocket science here,,, it’s just the way it is…it’s not a question of affordability,,, tis more a question of fair business practice,,,
ebay has always maintained that it is a venue,,, not an broker or retail outlet…but their percent of charges and practices placed on sellers are matching retail outlet practices and percents,,,
and the great thing about it for them,,, they do not pay 90% of their work force “the sellers”indeed it is greedbay and pigpal,,, but this is the way of the world now,,, profits come first,,,
no-matter the cost and whom you may squash…yes we are in a slow economy,,, so it make’s perfect sense for ebay to shove more fees in their system,,,
it is the consumer who pays in the end… little bit of sarcasm,,, no harm meant… -
colmustard
Hi Beachgirlbaby,
If you are asking about Bonanza, they have free listings and can download all your eBay listing if you like. The only cost is when you sell and it is small percentage. I sell there regularly and the most I have paid at one time, monthly is about $4.00.
I really like the large pix on there for items. -
colmustard
Good Morning sweetness,
I really like this venue as it is very professional looking and you will make a ton of money one day. Just add in the ads and keep it going.Moby,
Just an idea for smaller sellers. If you cannot afford to list on eBay, list on Bonanza for free, it is growing very fast with more and more sellers and buyers daily.
Pricing is also very important as folks do not want cheap stuff, they want good stuff at a value price. Read “cheap”. -
mobygrape
Sir James,,, i would agree with you ,,, but ebay is slowly eliminating small sellers,,,
one really needs to be sharp in dealing with ebay now,,,
and the shipping fees are morally wrong,,, if you remember,,, ebay has
always encouraged the sellers to keep shipping cost to a minimum,,,
it’s just not right and it makes it harder on the seller,,,
unless you are an big volume seller,,, if so,,, then it easy…
i am reading blogs and comments around the web and 95% of them are negative,,,
even in the ebay stock blogs,,, i’m reading negative posts,,,i’m getting 50% less viewers now than what i got last year and the items i sell
i’m getting 40% too 60% less value… -
Sweetness
Hi Selinda…
I got so used to the drop down menu here, that when I was on eBay’s chat.. I’d click and then wonder why I didn’t get to the next page.. kept forgetting the click here button.. lol
-
Selinda
OK. I see all we have to do is click on which board we want to post on. Seems easy enough.
James, I never sold anything on eBay, as I was a buyer only, with a feedback of 991, all positive. And I don’t ever buy on eBay anymore, since nearly over a year. Don’t like Paypal, don’t trust Paypal.
So I used eBay for their chat boards, only.
