I've tried to avoid eBay as much as possible in the past few years.



Forcing you to use PayPal drives me nuts too.  They not only raised their auction fees astronomically, but they skim another few percent from the seller through PayPal.  eBay took their market dominance and alienated a lot of potential sellers in the past few years.

You're trying to sell a free night somewhere?

The auction was for a gift certificate good for one free night for $75.  There was no trickery involved.
