I'm at that point.
I have some junk that I need to get rid of, but for the life of me I can't justify using eBay anymore. I have some unopened Blurays, an old Bluetooth Keyboard, Tablet Charging Dock, etc... Most are mere $10-20 items. Toss out $5-10 each for shipping charges because standard shipping these days is ridiculous. Toss out another $2-3 each for eBay fees, toss out another $2 each for PayPal fees. What am I left with? Wasted fucking time.
The last item I sold was a brand new Motorola 360 smart watch - I got it for free @ BestBuy as part of a promo for buying a new phone. I didn't even take the sticker off the touch-screen of it. I didn't use it... at all. I don't care for a smart watch. 2 Months after selling it on eBay I get a negative from the Buyer saying "Watch not new.. And it has some system problem"... Didn't email me, didn't ask me, did nothing. Just left a negative. Thanks douchebag.
With their new system you can't even attempt to defend yourself from douchebag buyers (and the buyers are hands-down the most likely to be douchebags over sellers). Sellers CAN NOT leave negative feedback on a buyer, only a buyer can leave negative on the seller. Who the hell thought this wasn't something that completely screws over sellers?
Screw it, I'd rather drop them off for a donation and take the damn tax write-off instead of getting peanuts after all the fees and hassle of packing/shipping/selling.
