That would explain why I haven't seen any memorable product innovation from eBay in a decade...

I tried to sell something last week, and assumed that it would be a 30 second affair of "snap photo, set reserve price, done". No, no. We can't have things be this simple... Have fun clicking through a massive list of options and settings... By the time you've got to the end of that form you wish you just took the item to the dump!

Plus the anti-seller bias generally ensures that a bad buyer can ruin your day. I used to sell my old electronics on eBay a lot but recently have used it as a last resort if Craigslist and Swappa didn't work out.
