Hey, I totally agree with every bit of this! Man it's about time! I thought I was the only one on here that felt this way. Some people are rediculous with the shipping. I also don't agree with allowing Hong Kong Companies to run thier stuff on here either. That's free advertising and entisement to buy other things! I fight against this stuff every chance I get. I am so glad you and your wife are on here. I don't feel alone now! I love this site and most of the people on it. But there are those that will take advantage if we let them!
I hadn't thought about the Hong Kong sites, but I agree. Listia is a place for regular folks to barter, not businesses to peddle their wares. I have a lot of new items I list that are overflow from my business, but it's not the reason I'm here and doesn't represent the bulk of my listings. I want to trade stuff I don't need or want any more for stuff I do. When I have items that I need to show a profit on, I use eBay.
