i heard to many episodes that people had with this site...almost all was negative...
i must have read at least 3 threads about ebay on here were the person was fux'd over...and i saw 3 episodes on The peoples court in which one kid stuffed a 600 dollar cellphone box with paper clippings and there was about 6 complaints on his ebay record.
But of course i didnt take that into much consideration cuz i like to witness truth for myself...but the fact that no one i had seen for the items i wanted take responsibilty if the item became lost...or parcel dmg'd...which i think is bullshit.
But im a big fan of the black market...

I ebay a lot (buy and sell). I usually buy then sell anything for a quick easy dollar. I recently bought Tiesto in Concert (2 dvd), Magik vol. 1, England home Beckham jersey and a vintage Germany t-shirt

Ebay is a safe place if you use it properly. There are many ways to stop getting scammed, but ultimately if someone really wanted to they could be dishonest and steal from you. However, most ppl don't because it puts their reputation on the line = no more ebay..and even to a greater extent...charges.

I've used it once or twice, usually to buy Cisco gear.
There is however a lot of fraud that goes on. You can't even trust good seller feedback, as a lot of people's ebay accounts get hacked. (Usually by email spam requesting the user go to a fake ebay site and update their password...)

addicted since xmas.
buying and selling.
so far, i've recieved everything except 1 item, which I hope will arrive this week, if not. report to paypal, but first work it out with the person selling.
usually if you are buying, buy from a person with a higher rating and a high satisfaction %.
otherwise there's a bigger risk.
