You are mistaken. eBay is good for unique items, but Half.com was better for books, CDs and DVDs.

eBay is worse than Half.com for the buyer:

- Search results on Half.com were selected by item, grouped by condition and then sorted. Search results on eBay are by keyword match only (and then sorted). You have to read every listing to see whether it's the right item and what condition it's in. - eBay shipping cost varies from seller to seller.

eBay is worse than Half.com for the seller:

- 30 cent per item per month listing fee for items beyond the first 50. Useless for large catalogs of slow-selling items. - Buyers can make a purchase and never pay.
