If eBay is Rethuglican-owned (Also, is there an Paypal alternative?)

[Hawkeye-X]

Then what's my alternative?

I certainly don't want eBay to grab my money.

Same for PayPal

1. Try ebid.net

They do not charge any fees for listing.

2. Republican-owned?

It's a publicly traded company.

The largest individual shareholder is its founder, Pierre Omidyar, who is not a Republican.

3. Then Republican-run

Meg Whitman (CEO of eBay) supports McCain.

7. John Donahue right now runs the show with a bush administration

ideology. They are bullies and crap on small sellers and put people out of work. They just recently tried to bully ebay austrailia to accept PayPal only as a payment method and were denied after weeks of fighting hard for it. Paypal is an unregulated bank.

4. wtf?

if you want to sell your "batman" card collection, stand on a street corner and shout out your offer.

good luck.

if you want no rethuglican-owned entity ever to see a profit from you sale then that is another story.

craigslist. maybe.

give them away. that would be the most pure.

6. Some alternatives ...ebay is a mess right now and riddled with fraud.

ebidus.com - they just got an award for best ebay alternative:

OLA.com - a site thats been around but growing, they are also in the process of a complete site revamp. $8.00 a month unlimited listings for sellers.

As a paypal alternative? Google Checkout, and Amazon just released a new payment service last week info here:

9. Try eCrater. Also, there's etsy for hand crafted items and some vintage items.

Both take PayPal, but eCrater also uses google checkout.
