How to be successful on ebay?

[Rich]

I've been selling on ebay since 1999 and have 4625 positive feedbacks and I am leaving there because it is no longer seller friendly to the small seller. A few low DSRs left by buyers (even if by mistake and unfairly left) and they will slap 21-day holds on your PayPal funds, put Seller Limitations on how many items you can list and sell, and lower the placement of your items in search, Ebay is attempting to "weed out" the "little guy" and go with all high volume sellers. Read the discussion board threads there in ebay Community and you will see lots of horror stories from longtime sellers like me.
