I justa realized that ebay fee are f-ing rediculous!! It cost me $30 to sell a pair of seats for $249. Listing fee was $2.50, final value fee was $20, and the Paypal fee was $7.50. CRAIGSLIST is the way to go!!!

I think for a lot of stuff you get more money on Ebay but you have to deal with their fees and Paypal. Their newest policy of holding payments until the items are received, feed back is sent, etc really sucks and I will try to avoid Ebay from now on. I hate dealing with people on craigs list. All I have ever gotten was low ball offers, tire kickers, and scammers.

Ebay is a RipOff if your not a Ebay store. I post on Craigslist all the time and never have a problem. You just have to ignore the scammers.
I buy and sell a lot on craigslist. If you cant spot the scammers and ignore them then yes, I can see how it would be irritating. I have always believed that since its a free site your going to need to weed out the dumb shit. All in all i have bought and sold many cars and motorcycles and a few quads. No problems as long as you do things smart. Dont meet after hours, dont take anything but cash and if your taking cash meet at a bank so you can make sure the money isn't funny. I try real hard to meet in a public area and I dont do much buisness at my house unless i talk to them on the phone for a bit and feel comfortable. Be smart and be safe and Craig's list rocks.
I do hate the way c/l does the adds though. You put something in a popular section and an hour later your pages and pages away. You aren't supposed to list same adds in other cities and a few other BS rules. But for the price.... C/L is a great way to move some stuff.

I use Craigslist every week to buy and sell. It is pretty easy to week out the scammers.
