Is eBay screwing the Charity Shops out of money?

0 Comments 02 April 2009

Just a random thought, but do people think “lets eBay it” these days instead of lets take it to the Charity Shop / put it in them massive Charity Bins at the local dump?

Only crossed my mind as I was looking on eBay to see what price an item I got last summer for £50 was at now, someone is selling it for a crazy £1,000 (normal price is around £600 to £700) come on it’s a digital item, it’s not even real. Well the card it comes on is real, but that’s not what people are paying for. In a recession, I can’t believe an item like that would get this kind of money, will have to follow the bids and see if they sell.

Anyway was taking a look around what was for sale as I am thinking of plugging an eBay and Amazon back feed in to a few of my new websites and noticed a huge trend in selling clothes, so that mean charity shops are not getting the clothes they once got, not going to loose any sleep over it, just a thought!
