I don't ebay anymore, for a couple of reasons. First, I got to the point with Paypal that I didn't trust them anymore. It wasn't worth it to me to open a separate bank account for them, and I wasn't willing to let them have access to my actual accounts anymore.

I sold a set of Wiggles tickets for less than face value. Accepted the payment and sent the tickets. About 2 months later the gal who bought them e-mailed me asking what was up...Paypal had put the money back in her account. They never did get that straightened out, so I ended up losing the entire $100 I'd paid for them rather than the $10 I'd thought I'd lost. Of course the buyer wasn't willing to just send me the money, even tho she admitted she'd gotten and used the tickets before she got her money back.

Then, I had two bad buys. One was from a gal in Canada who made bookbags. Never did get the bookbag or my money back. The other was from a guy selling Thomas the Train items. Ditto...no toy, no refund.

I filed for arbitration on all these. After the third strike, ebay was out! I live just fine without them and their scams!

What haven't I bought on ebay?? In thousands of transactions (bought and sold) I've only been ripped off twice, once as buyer, once as seller. Neither was earth shattering, although disappointing. I've bought clothes, shoes, bedding, batteries, hardware, software, books, music, dvds, home decor, too many things to count, LOL! And I am a Top Rated PowerSeller myself.

Gosh..I eBay. I've gotten burned a few times, but was able to get my $ back via paypal without problem (just takes a while sometimes). I buy and sell, even though buying more lately. I've found some really cool gifts:

Jewelry, paintings, clothing, handbags, makeup, homegoods, electronics, movies and games.
