    What I was saying in the other thread was that these listings are common and have been around for years.

    They aren’t springing up, they have already sprung years ago.

    What I think you really mean is that they sprouted up years ago, now their seeds are sprouting, too.

    I do remember those days as well, it was February 2000 when I first set up my ebay account, you could ship (mail) small items for a good price...

    If you print a label through eBay, shipping is cheaper today than it was 25 years ago when adjusted for inflation. And you get tracking now, which wasn't available then.

    Do you have to have an ebay store to do that? that's something I've never done and I do have some very vintage items that my mother had that I'm thinking of putting on ebay, I do have a far amount of 100% positive feedback that goes back to 2000, but I never setup an ebay store, I just never had enough flow of anything to feed it.
    Looks like I've got over 700 100% positive feedback.

    Well, that depends on what and how you ship. Back in the day, you could send bubble envelopes by 1st class. These days you can't.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.

    Like an invasive plant that reproduces from the roots :# they start out looking pretty nice, then in a few years they've taken over your property. My wife has a bad habit of bringing these strange extraterrestrial plants home for me to deal with. My neighbor a few years back planted some Bamboo on my fence line, oh my god that was awful stuff to deal with, for some strange reason his Bamboo just up & died :D

    I sure do miss the early days on ebay... There were good deals in many categories back then. I do not go there anymore. Cheers, RickO

    And cherrypicking was SO easy! Lots of really good stuff!
