    Being retired I find that Ebay has made my life a bit easier. How you ask, well let me say that it has saved me lots of gas money for one. I have also found things I could not find in stores. Ebay being an auction site can offer very good deals if you look hard enough. — … read full review »

I have bought and sold at Ebay. I used the service a lot more early on. After someone ripped off my kid on some baseball cards (purchased on his dad's account), I have not been very inclined to shop at Ebay. — What happened was that my kid bought a set of cards. When they arrived, the two… read full review »

I use to be totally addicted to Ebay. I bought and sold on Ebay. But, in the last few years I have been saddened to see that Ebay is now full of people who make a living on selling on ebay. It was much more fun when most sellers were people who did it just for fun or because they had something to sell that they did not need anymore. I hate all of the crazy shipping and handling fees that some people charge.… read full review »

Ebay is my favorite online shopping site.  It is easy to use, especially the auctions that take Paypal, so that you can just pay online quickly and securely and don't have to give your personal info like a credit card number or checking account number to sellers. It's easy to shop whether you're looking for something specific, or just browsing.  — The selection can't be beat.  Pretty much anything you can think of, and tons of stuff you never knew existed, can be found on ebay.  The mindboggling selection of new and used and collectible items is just… read full review »

Ebay is a great place to find hard to find items.  I have been able to get a control knob for a 97 Taurus and a lug lock key for a Camry there in just the past few months.  Cell phone accessories are usually cheaper on Ebay than other sites.  I almost always get mine there. — You do need to becareful when shopping on Ebay.  A few things I would recomend, 1. be sure to read the entire page before buying anything, if you have questions, contact the seller.  2. Always check the feedback rating of your potential seller, only buy from people with excellent ratings,… read full review »

I must admit I do a fair amount of buying and selling on ebay.  While I love being able to find and sell almost anything, I detest the high fees they charge.  They are making gobs and gobs of money but won't pass the savings on to their customers.  I prefer to sell on craigslist or through the local Yahoo garagesale group websites to avoid the obnoxious ebay… read full review »

I love ebay!  It's that simple.  It is such an easy way to make a little extra money, and it's tax free! (shhhhhhh.....)  I've been using ebay for several years now and have not had one bad experience.  All my transactions go smoothly, I always get paid when I'm selling, and I always get my merchandise when I'm buying.  It's also a very easy site to use, even if you're new to it. — You can find ANYTHING on ebay!  I've bought event tickets, movies, gently used clothing.....you get the idea.  You can find GREAT DEALS, and items that are difficult to find… read full review »

For the most part I have had good experiences while shopping on Ebay.  There were just a couple of times where I got scamed by a couple of sellers, but each time Ebay refunded my money with no problem.  I have bought everything from cameras to furniture from ebay sellers, and almost everything made it to me safe and… read full review »

I have had an account with ebay for the last 7 years.  At first I used it occasionally.  I found some good bargains and some unique items.  I have also sold quite a few things.  My feedback was excellent.  I say "was" because I closed my account last month.  In the last year I have made quite alot of purchases; perfume, handbags, furs, pool accessories, car parts.  The bottle of perfume was confirmed to be counterfeit (I took it to a retailer) and returned only to receive bad feedback.  Prior to my purchase the seller had good feedback. … read full review »

Speaking from experience, I really do enjoy Ebay but  I would highly suggest reading — feedback about Sellers before purchasing from them.  Also, be careful with No — Shipping fee tags, a lot of times these fees will than be added as handling charges. — It's also a good idea to become familiar with what the postal office actually charges — for certain items so you can evaluate before you bid.  Media mail is the least expensive but this shipping takes the longest to arrive to your front door.  Books, — cd's and dvd's can all be sent using media… read full review »

I have been an Ebay Registered User since 2001, I have sold & purchased item via the eBay medium.  Just recently I experienced a rather dreadful experience, when I purchased an item from a "Power Seller."  This Seller told me that in order for them to combine the packages, I would have to pay with one invoice.  This was conveyed after I had already paid for one of the five items I had purchased.  Two of the five items were "pre-sale" coins (Utah Quarters & Madison Presidential Coins); the other items included two other Presidential Coins (already released) AND a… read full review »

I have been an E-bayer for years....both as a buyer and a seller. When there is something I cannot find in the stores or is of a vintage nature, I usually have pretty good results checking with E-bay. I also have found that when I'm willing to wait for an item I can usually get it at a better price than in the stores. — — As a seller I enjoy the process of selling, mailing, etc., however, there is much work involved in getting the items photographed, written up and then online. If the item isn't priced right then there is the expense of listing fees and "eating" that if it… read full review »

I have been using eBay since it's inception in the 90's.  I started out selling dolls and collectibles for my mom's shop (MyDollShop.com).  After that I got into selling jewelry and re-selling items of interest.  Now I sell art, crafts, supplies, and my random stuff.  I don't know what I would do for extra spending money without eBay!  — It's free to sign up, and now your first picture is FREE (used to be .35).  One drawback for small item sellers is that the fees are very high.  It's tough to make a profit when you are selling low dollar items. … read full review »

I have bought several items on Ebay over the years and the only problem I have is with their feedback system. I was depending on that to give me an accurate idea of what kind of seller I was buying from. When the seller sold me a bad product and even though I paid for priority shipping did not ship out the item for and entire week, I gave the seller a bad review to warn other shoppers.In response the seller gave me a bad review which said "why you give me bad review?" When I complained to Ebay they said there is nothing they can do about retalitory feedback unless they directly attack you.… read full review »
