They've definitely gotten way too big and way too greedy.
There was an internal email that got out along the lines that, as a company that now includes Paypal, they wanted to secure 25% of the final value of any item you sell.
25 fuckin' per cent !?!
For doing fuck all !
A real world auction house photographs your item, prints a catalogue, brings people in with a mail shot and sells your item for you and they only want between 10 and 15% !
Bring it on I say.
Regrettably, it'll be someone like Google who aren't far off being a megacorp that'll get just as greedy in no time at all.
