I think part of the disconnect is that most on this board view buying and selling parts on Ebay as part of their hobby. When you're in a hobby, the goal is often to do it for little money; time is cheap to the hobbyist.

For our sellers on Ebay - especially the hi-volume sellers - it's their business. When you're running a business, time is money.

We hobbyists don't like (or forget) that the businessman is selling his time as well as his product. I'm including myself in that observation - I wish that everybody on Ebay was my hobby buddy and did favors and helped out all our hobby buddies. Ain't so. Just 'cause I don't like it doesn't mean it was unfair.

I still don't like being taken advantage of, and there are sellers out there who do that. Caveat emptor.
