To be honest it wasn't that hard doing it myself, but it broke 2-3 times over that number of years when providers changed their delivery requirements (see DKIM, DMARC etc). It was never something I enjoyed troubleshooting.
I also find it ridiculous they have some much advertising on it - both buyers and sellers are producing revenue through seller fees and paypal transactions. Why do they need ads as well?
I've tried to use other selling sites but always end up back at ebay as they have far more stuff for sale, and more buyers.
I suppose the same could be said for any form of regular exercise, but it makes such an improvement to how I feel when I get to work, and my general well-being. The pollution in London has always been a bit of a concern, however I hope the exercise outweighs this for the most part. I save around £8 a day by not taking the train.
I wish more people would give it a go. More people riding would result in better and safer infrastructure here. I do however, regularly see people get knocked off bikes and can understand the perceived risk and reluctance from others to try it. I'm envious of cities such as Copenhagen with great safe infrastructure, and where riding is the norm.
I miss none of the things I used to refresh tirelessly and gave up on, seems to suggest that none of those things made my life any better.
