E-bay is worthless

I'm not sure if I even understand the purpose of a reserve price auction. It just seems to encourage that kind of stupid behavior. And who wins out, no matter what? Why, eBay of course! Why not just list it no reserve and start the bidding at what you want for it?

The biggest problem with eBay is eBay itself, IMHO. There's alot of stuff like that they do to make their money, nickle and diming their customers for all they are worth.

From my experience. Say if you want $100 for something and start it at $100 it wont go as high as say if you started at $80 with $100 reserve. Maybe because people like to get in bidding wars or w/e. Usually however, if i want $100 for something and start it at $80...ill put no reserve and let it get what it gets, reserve is all or nothing. but say a car, yea i'll be puttin a reserve on it.
