What an ignorant, back ass statement. Hey buddy welcome to this century
ebay does millions of transactions a day and most people are happy. A good
deal may I remind you is where the seller and the buyer are happy and ebay
generally accomplishes this. If a buyer is to stupid, to do his homework
or is incapable of showing restraint in bidding well then too bad. This is
a CAPITALIST country you know.

Finally there are plenty of deals on ebay and there is plenty of money to
be made selling on it. I have never been "scammed" and using paypal or a
credit card is prudent and provides another layer of protection so,
obviously you just don't get it or are incapable of grasping that business
and the way goods are sold is changing and will change forever.

I have to think this was a troll. I love Ebay. I have bought and sold on it
for 5 years or so. I only got burned out right 1 time. Was some $5.00 toy,
so I did not loose any sleep over it. I have bought all kinds of stuff that
I was having trouble finding anywhere else. Several times when I was looking
for something I could not find I would as a last resort check them, and
there it was. I do my research, bid no more than about %60 of what something
would cost me from a brick &mortar or online dealer. If I win great, if not
and I need something in a hurry, I can always just order it. years ago when
I decided to up grade my reloading equipment I found some great deals on all
the stuff I wanted, got rid of all the stuff I no longer needed, and some of
it sold for more than I paid new!
If you have some common sense, and READ the reviews you can get good, to
great deals, and, in my case at least often find items that I just could not
find. I love the place.
