Two readers wanted to know if I would list items on eBay again and whether or not it was really worth the trouble of selling there.

Unless I’m looking for a vintage toy I prefer to shop elsewhere. I bought a couple of playskool puzzles for my son’s birthday and a 1960s Lite-Brite for Christmas. Unfortunately, I overpaid for both. I earned eBay bucks for each purchase and my big cash back total was a whopping $5.  I ... Read more

My son absolutely loves books and I thought he might enjoy snuggling with a cuddly toy that sings, barks and makes other fun noises when you read out loud. Before heading out to the store ...

I was so excited to sell an unused Wii console and now I’m trapped in the nightmare of eBay’s processes for a bidder who refuses to cough up the cash. I don’t even understand the bidder’s feedback.
