I ma...I used to buy and sell on eBay all the time. I made a LOT of money off that site back in the day, and got a lot of nice deals too. Now it's all 'you MUST use Priority Shipping' which sucks when you only get a comic or loose pvc figure. Almost everything is Buy It Now- the cheap auctions are almost non-existent. And it's all PayPal only for the most part- and I have no interest in getting one of those. <br />The reason I quit using it, though- was several years ago I got a modded PS1 (it was THAT long ago!) with, like 50 games and imports for only $150. It shows up and all the games are burnt CDr copies. That was not specified in the auction- or even hinted at- it even had pictures of real games in the listing... <br /> I emailed- told him I wanted my money back or I'd report him to eBay because you are technically prohibited from selling copies on there. <br />He says he wants the stuff back first- I sent it insured with delivery confirmation. Weeks pass- nothing. I email- he says he never got it. I say it is CONFIRMED that he did. He says he sent a check. I say I never got it- send another. He says it is/was sent. No check ever came... I reported him to eBay. Fraudulent auction, no refund on return, illegal copied games. And: They did NOTHING. <br />I emailed them several times. Nothing. <br />You used to be able to get a sellers phone number on there to resolve issues with them- I got it- called- not a real number. I reported that as a breach of their terms- they still did nothing. I got screwed for a hundred and fifty bucks and had nothing to show for it, and that's A LOT of money for me- I was so pissed off that they (eBay) didn't even seem to care at all- that I never sold or bought on there again.
