[78-L] hoo-Ha

[Jim Shulman]

I'm noticing (in other areas of collecting) that specific hobby sites are
offering better things for sale than eSpray.  In one hobby, the cheapest
items start in the hundreds of dollars and go up from there.

The sellers offer more reasonable prices, since they're not bound by listing
fees, and the stuff moves very fast to the first offer.

eSpay better watch out, they'll put themselves right out of business. 
I've noticed that the 78 section is running more and more "buy it now" 
listings and less and less actual auctions nowadays. And there are no 
more 99 cent items, either. I wonder what yeGods marketing-think is? It 
seems to make no sense.
One thing about the "buy it now" listers that is acceptable is you can 
usually deal with them - on list or off list -  if the item closes with 
no bidders, and pay somewhat reasonable prices for the items you want.

raised their rates again. In addition to their listing fees and taking a
hunk out of payments through PayPal, they are now taking a whopping 9% of
the final value fee on sales. They get you coming, going, and in between.
Does anyone know of a solution or have tried one of the "monthly payment"
accounts in lieu of paying by the item?
