Neither of those options are really true.
There is no such thing as a no return policy on ebay. They will force it down your throat.
And they are a monopoly (or is it a monopsony). Who else can raise there fees 10,000% in 25 years? They killed the antique show an antique malls. My sales were down 90% when I got out. NAWCC membership is down 66%. Chrono24 is really set up for high end large dealers and not your small time dealer. Facebook market place and etsy are really no competition.

No other site gets the traffic that ebay does. For the small time seller, there really is no other viable option.

Ebay has its place. I would not buy a high-end item on it unless I knew or trusted the seller, or the seller was a verifiable legitimate business.
