I have bought and sold many $k worth of items on ebay's auctions and Buy It Now options.
Just today I auctioned off the last of four fairly pricey pieces of Canon photographic equipment. I initially tried selling these items on Digital Grin, a popular B&S photographic site and got nowhere.
Maybe, I got too impatient but when I saw that I wasn't getting any offers I moved my stuff to a 7 day auction on Ebay with no reserve. Bingo. Plus, I have to admit it is fun watching a bidding war as long as I am the one selling.
I first did my due diligence, found out what the same items were selling for and then let the auction market do the rest.
I do not begrudge Ebay or PayPal their fees as they provide and incredibly important service and where else can one confidently go to sell/buy just about anything from soup to nuts.
