| Has anyone noticed..... I surely cannot be the only one.... but lately ive seen people on eBay as well as some YTers selling clothes from Walmart, The Dollar Store, etc for much more. I guess this is how you make money but just irks me for some reason. I saw a $6.97 dress at walmart being sold by a YTer for $17 (same name brand and everything) and numerous dollar store dresses (ive seen the name brand there) for $24.99. I understand that people need to make money but i just feel bad for those buying them...maybe they dont get it in their area....] just had to get that off my chest

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I hardly go on ebay anymore - the deals are GONE.....I think when it started they really had a good idea - but it doesn't take long before people take advantage - and Ebay makes money off every single sale... so now it's just an online STORE not really an 'auction site' like it started out as. man - back in the day you could really find deals....now you have to weed thru so many 'stores' and regular prices that it's just not worth it unless you have something really specific in mind and they have really good prices - but then again - the shipping charges are usually jacked. As long as whoever is doing that kind of thing keeps it on Ebay and not here - then I say WHATEVA.... |

| I don't see a problem wth it. I really don't see how its ripping people off the seller is just finding a way to make money... the buyer can choose whether they want to buy it or not. I know often times I'll run into a really great sale.. and I'll buy a bunch of stuff and resell it on YT. I try to make the prices less than what someone would have paid for it full price, but still price it enough that I can make a bit of money as well. I have sold some things from the dollar store before.. but for just what it cost me.. i can't imagine selling something from the $ store for $24.

| I LOOOOOOVE Ebay!! I have gotten SO many great deals on things there!! I have gotten so many video games 60 percent off used, while the stores here only sell them like 30% off when used. I have gotten TONS of great neckties and great suits too in pristine condition. Many were brand new with tags. I don't know about everybody else, but Ebay is one of my favorite sites. |

| Sometimes I have found things at the dollar store that came from other places, like ones I got this tin that had been sold at hallmark for like $7 or $8 and once I found this childrens toy that I had previously bought for my son for $13 but it seems to me that I don't think I've ever gotten something at the dollar store that was worth $25. Alot of times I think they get overstocks or something so you never know, maybe sometimes the people didn't get their items from the dollar store? But I suspect, a lot of times they do. |

| Have you seen the person on eBay that sells the Walmart and Target stuff for $20-30 a piece?! She normally takes a picture of the stuff with a large pink rose.

It should be up to the buyer to do their homework before purchasing, I think | |
