Despite being an active ?net user for eight years, now is my first time selling something on eBay.

To some extent I can not believe how successful eBay is with such a horrendous design. Buying and selling is tolerable, but registering to sell? Ridiculous. The ?process? isn?t much of a process at all. It isn?t integrated, there is no clear indication of what to do next, and you have no idea when you are done. Plus, I had to enter my bank information twice, and enter two different credit cards (eBay accepts Amex, but Billpoint does not). In short, it is a pain.

Coupled with the fact that my stuff will probably fetch nothing, it almost doesn?t seem worth the effort. After all, in NYC I can just leave it on the sidewalk and it’ll be gone in 60 seconds. Much easier.

Anyone want a Motorola Timeport for Sprint or a DSL modem?
