Screw fee-bay. Unless you want to pay someone a percentage of the sale and what it cost to ship, there are no advantages of using them.
Frankly, yes, there is a HUGE advantage to eBay - you are advertising your goods to the world, and are more likely to sell them at a premium to the asking price.
The downside is that eBay and payment processor take ~20% commission from the sale.
I've sold items on both eBay and TRF in the past.
When I know there is something that I want to get in the hands of folks who might apricate it more, I will accept a lower transaction price and transfer a rocket kit (or car, bike, or other hobby stuff) to someone on this (or other hobby) forums.
Everything else goes on eBay.
I do not agree with their rules on a price must be posted here though, it should be between you and the buyer.
I would have to disagree.
It's super simple and convenient to respond to for-sale offers when the asking price is listed. You know what the buyer wants, and you can make up your mind if you are willing to meet the asking price.
Alternative transaction models are all messier, and take longer to clear. You want all that - go to eBay!
