I have 100% positive feedback. I have had issues with purchases, but who here has ever had 100% positive experiences when shopping at WallyWorld or any store for that matter or just shopping period ? Everyone has paid too much at one point or has had a defective item or some such issue. Everyone...
So don't fear trying it, after all you spent your hard earned, valuable money at some local store for the first time, did'nt you ? L8r's
I love EBay. It allows me to buy unique gifts that people love. The kind of things that, even if I could get out easily to stores, I could never find in my small, remote community.

I have also saved a bundle using EBay. Being disabled, I have to watch every penny.

I love eBay too, just not as a seller. I have found some screaming deals (especially when people misspell things) but a 21 day hold on funds sucks rocks. Last time I sell on eBay for a LOOOOONG time that is for sure.

Crooks.

That is just not right.... if you had had complaints, I could understand it. But if not, it seems like a punishing rule, to me.

But you know...I really basically don't think Ebay is 100% legit. There are some really nice people selling there ...and I have corresponded with them. But I am so careful...who I buy from. I look at the sellers feedback, and other items for sale very carefully before dealing with a new seller.

Everything that Ebay has done lately to anonymize the buyers IDs strikes me as hindering my ability to research sellers in order to decide to bid.

So I still do buy there, but very very carefully.

Yup, that's their rules and regulations. I hate it when you buy more than one thing from a seller at the same time you only get one feedback as a buyer. The same for the seller. But that is how they have it now.

I still do business there and have found many good sellers whom I trust.
