As someone who buys and sells on eBay, it makes it difficult to ensure that what I'm buying will be what I'm expecting, and it reduces customer confidence, thus reducing the amount people are willing to pay for an eBay item, and reducing the number of bidders. There simply aren't enough checks and balances in place to keep the quality of the average listing up, and therefore people start to move away in favor of something more stable.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Brendan Kirk</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jun 2008 09:01:43 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
