Mostly agree but I would count Rob Farver, Adam Yulish, Julie K and
several others (yes, even Mike Stanley, that no account scoundrel! :-) )
as part of our gang.
Consider them the exceptions that prove the rule as most sellers are
not.
However, given that I have of late been winning about 20% of the
auctions I participate in, I guess I'm not as anti eBay as I was. Hey, I
even tried to buy some of their stock, but I couldn't margin it so I
decided not to.
