Why not?

Simple question.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

Why are you still here?

Why am I still here?  Because my business is selling, and this is the number one site where I sell.  So, my business keeps me here.

 

(Just like my shops in my hometown over the years.  Why was I still there?  Because that is where my business was located.)

Because I make a very good income and I am comfortable with the system. I've tried other sites and this one always seems to work the best for me and what I sell.

Simply hoping that it gets better.  The last good eBay month & year for me was February 2014 -- since then, everything has gotten drastically worse:  sales down 75%; visibility questionable; all sorts of new "improvements" which have only cluttered up my valuable listing hours; higher selling fees; new rules and regulations; poor customer service; etc.

 

But it seems to be the cheapest show in town, with the best results.

My disability prevents me from working at a regular job.  Selling on eBay allows me the privilege of earning my crust of bread, and I am grateful for that.

Because sometimes I need an auction format for an unusual and modestly valuable OOAK object.

 

EBay has the most buyer "eyes" for that type of item.

I am here because it supplements my part time job and my husband's full time one so our family can enjoy some of the "wants" in life.

Still finding the good stuff at great prices from wonderful sellers.

Because our family needs extra money and we have a house full of stuff to sell.

It's easy money.

It's the most popular site = most buyers.

I'm too lazy to learn a different site.

Yep. All FP antique/vintage items are elsewhere. I only do auctions here.
