    Today I open up my email to find Ebay has pulled all of my auctions, for the egregious violation of (get this,) allowing my customers to pay with personal check or money order. That's right, unless you're selling automobiles now or real estate, you have to use fucking Paypal. The do not give you a choice.

    You know what? Fuck Ebay, I'm through with that shit. What other auciton sites are out there? I'm going to start an account at http://www.swoopo.com, but are there any others that are worth looking into?

    I'm pretty sure every major city has one. Stormwind, Ironforge, Orgrimmar, etc.

    seriously? that's F*ing F*cked up! Why on earth are they still going? At least with Yahoo Auctions you can pay via bank, post office or even cash. In fact you can pay anyway you want as long as the seller will accept it. EBay are last!

    Same thing here in Brazil, the only good auction site is mercado livre that is owned by ebay. Mercado livre sucks badly, people that works there are totally noob and dumb, they ban people sometimes without any reason

    Totally right!!
    Here in Uruguay we have Mercado Libre which is the correspondent branch of eBay, and man it sucks big time!
    Users are so frigginly annoying, for example, you sell something for a certain price and they start offering stupid things to trade in exchange or want to buy it for half the price or make dumb ass questions.
    Same goes for the people that work behind Mercado Libre, total jackasses, as he says, they ban accounts without any reason among other things.
