Thats bussiness, get over it, this is how it works. Ebay is in no way like wal-mart, wal-mart uses offshore labor working for peanuts to sell low price goods to the american public, they then stick one in a town and drive everyone else out of bussiness by lowering their prices. When they get rid of most of the bussiness they raise their prices again.
Ebay is people selling crap they don't need to people willing to buy it, think of it like the yard sale of the internet. Of course the people behind ebay get a little bit off the top, but at the end of the day they aren't really selling anything, they just provide you with the ability to sell something on the internet on a site a large number of people visit.
