Who's whining? I SELL on eBay... rarely do I buy there. I am just agreeing that people have little/no common sense when it comes to buying there. eBay is NOT like a live auction. When was the last time you bid on an item at a live auction that took 7 days to sell? I am perfectly happy with the way things work on eBay -- I sell there and do quite well. If people would think for three seconds before bidding, though, they would realize that they would be much better served to bid as close to the end of the auction as they possibly can. I have dabbled on eBay for years now... I know.
