Granted, I've only ever sold one thing on E-bay, but I can't figure out why anyone would go this route. The regular transaction method makes everything so simple and convenient and doesn't involve me having to 'friend' someone I may never hear from again once the transaction is complete. If there are advantages, I'd love to hear them--always willing to learn something new.

Not sure I follow 100%. So with eBay, in theory you tap into their greater reach given they are "THE" place to sell things on the Net. But I must admit my interest in that is waning given sellers fees and the general nickel and diming down the chain. Selling via FaceBook is becoming the thing, in my opinion, as it eliminates the sellers fees entirely. Maybe it takes longer to sell things? Maybe? I haven't really seen that as the case though. So as long as you're a member of active Seller group, and there are quite a few dedicated to modellers, AND you can crosslink what you're selling across those groups, you can have a reasonable sell rate.
