Way too much computer stuff in my basement...any good ebay alternatives for unloading some of this? (ebay seller must now give credit card AND bank account info!)

Talk to your bank and credit card issuer, ask them what your liability is,
and if you don't like it, switch to a bank etc. with better terms.

Ebay has a monopoly on one thing, PEOPLE (ie buyers and sellers). Most
reasonable alternative in my opionion is to list things in the marketplace
sections of the appropriate newsgroups. Make a long list of your stuff and
let people pick at it.
