		<description>While ebay stocks are falling. To make things even worse, back in October 2008.&lt;br&gt;ebay had announced they would be doing away with checks and money orders.&lt;br&gt;Leaving paypal as the only method of payment.  Most people will look back at the&lt;br&gt;year 2008. The year of greed! I think ebay shot them selfs in the foot. By doing away&lt;br&gt;with checks and money orders! Lot of unhappy sellers as well as bidders planning on&lt;br&gt;leaving ebay. Because ebay always increasing there fees. Some sellers can not make&lt;br&gt;a profit.  I found more new auction sites popping up. However, some sites have been&lt;br&gt;around for awhile. For example, Auctionfire, Bidmonkey, BidonUSA, Bidtopia,  Blujay,&lt;br&gt;Bonanzle, &lt;a href=&quot;http://Ebid.net&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ebid.net&lt;/a&gt;,  Ecrater, ePier, iOffer, OnlineAuction, Tulsabids. please support these&lt;br&gt;fine auctions sites too. Don&#039;t let ebay be the only online auction site! Good Luck!</description>
