Not to me - PayPal doesn't enter into why I don't go to ebay. It's like vaksel said: I used to be able to actually save money by buying things on ebay. Now I often find that ebay's sellers are so unrealistic that they have higher prices than even B&M stores. Also, from a seller's perspective, the fees that ebay charges today are so much more expensive that it makes it far less attractive for me to put my goods on ebay in the first place.
So true! I'm no Apple fanboy, but just to drive the point home, 99% of the time I can buy a brand new Apple product _cheaper_ from the online Apple store than I can from eBay! Where's the fun in that?
