If you want it Ebay will probably have it.

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.

Ebay to make changes on feedback - ABOUT TIME!

JAN

2008

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 rookie cards had...

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.

There was a time when I loved to find bargains on ebay, I also loved to sell things. These days I can't find a bargain on anything I want and I have a hard time making money on any of my listings. I'm not sure who is benefiting from ebay but it's not me.

Fees keep going up and bids are going down. Ebay has some real problems these days.

Great place to find/sell almost anything, but they are greedy!!!

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 fees.

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 amazing. It's like a gigantic department...

The place to find those hard to find items and get great prices.

2008

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, check any negative feedback to be...

WHO ELSE IS TIRE OF EBAY FEES????

AUG

2008

I'M WRITING ABOUT EBAY IN GENERAL. I'VE BEEN AN ACTIVE SELLER FOR 4 YEARS OR SO, BUT WITH THE COST OF FEES, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE SOME MONEY. THEY CHARGE TO LIST AN ITEM, WHEN IT SELLS, NOT TO MENTION PAYPAL FEES. AND THECOST OF ALL THESE THINGS KEEPS GOING UP!

I KNOW THAT EBAY WANTS TO MAKE MONEY TOO- THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. BUT WHEN THE COST KEEPS RISING, PEOPLE WILL FIND DIFFERENT ON LINE SITES TO GO TO.

Selling on eBay is easier than ever

DEC

Selling on eBay: easier than ever to sell goods online!
eBay has really succeeded at making their site user-friendly for novice computer users who want to be Sellers. If you can set up a PayPal account, shoot a digital camera, and figure out (or get someone to show you) how to access your photos, you're in business. Literally!

eBay is a wonderful way to make money turning stuff you don't use into extra cash. I know lots of people who make a living by searching for goods to resell, at garage sales, etc. I have only used the site sporadically, and mainly for purchasing, but after... 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 in the store. For instance, I looked...

A Fence for Counterfeit Products

JUN

2008

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. Needless to say I left bad feedback. I continued... review »

Good Site for Online Shopping

FEB

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 sound.

Fun Place to Shop if You Use Wisdom!

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 mail but may not come as quickly as you
expect. Otherwise, enjoy... review »

NOV

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 Presidential Album.
