I've heard good things about this.
How does ebay treat you?

Can't we all just get along?

Ebay used to be the greatest website around, but it's lost everything that made it so perfect. It's not worth people's time anymore.

There's not as much stuff to bid on anymore.

Not enough items?!?! They only add about 600,000 new items a day. If anything they are oversaturated with items and too many things go unbid upon. If you can't find it on eBay, it was probably never made...

eBay is better I think today. They treat me great and I'm sure everyone else. I like that new, well sorta new(I just might not have noticed it) insurance--that if you get ripped off, you get your money back. Great idea! The only prolem with ebay is the feedback. I leave it for people and I never get anything in return. That's my only "beef" with ebay but really that would be a "beef" with the sellers I guess!

Take if from me. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. If you bid on something, make sure you want to buy it and send the payment in ASAP. I learned that the hard way.

I've usually had good experiences with ebay, and I don't know what you're talkin bout "callmetootie", it has more items than it has ever had! Before you bid, make sure to check their feedback, and if you have any doubts, be sure to email the seller!

Ebay is awesome! I have found so much stuff I never knew even existed. It's a great place to find old stuff, out of print stuff, cheap stuff, etc. I mostly shop for entertainment related stuff, like magazines and videos, and have only been screwed once. The guy sent me a video that only had two of the four promised shows on it then conveniently disappeared!

Key one is definitely check feedback, and if you win an auction, leave feedback. I only have a rating of 37, but I've bought way more than that.

Two, check to see if they are selling anything else at the time. That same guy that got me had only that video to sell.

Three, beware of last minute bidders. They'll get ya in the last ten seconds. It's so rude!!! If you can watch the auction close, that's good.

Four, shop around for other people selling the same item. You may be able to get it cheaper and once you bid you're stuck.

Most people are nice and trustworthy and you can find such great stuff. But beware, it's addictive!!!
