I don't do E-bay. To many rip off artists out there.

I use Yahoo Auctions to sell, have a high rating on there. Low rating on eBay cause their rates and fees are just too high compared to Yahoo.
Good luck MOST of the time on both though, that's why you pay through PayPal and it's always good in case you get burned.
Plus you have to be smart when bidding on auctions. I buy a lot of NBA jerseys on there, watch people's feedback and see what kind of a seller they are.

so far i haven't been screwed (knock on wood) yet on ebay, and have done LOTS of business there.
few years back it was much better, you could get better deals, but now it is a 'fad' thing and people are morons. they will dirve up the price of a USED item to near retail for brand new.
again watch the feedback forums and make sure the seller has a decent rating.
just like any other place you buy stuff, you gotta use sense and pay attention.
i think mine is high enough now to begin selling some spares, but id never buy from a person with a '0' rating unless i knew them personally. (in which case i wouldn't use ebay to buy it anyway)
beans: do you get decent prices on stuff on yahoo auctions?

it's all about rating, plus i have a personal auction manager for free provided by invite only by Yahoo.....plus high rating gives people assurance...
also take pics of the item urself with ur own digital pic, not one provided off a website...that way people KNOW u have the item in possession....
ship quick, give tracking numbers, u would be surprised what people would spend money on.....
happy bidding
