Ebay ??

I have a new addiction - It's Ebay!

In the past I have heard many talk about ebay this or I got it on ebay but the curiosity never struck me to find out what ebay was..... Well, since then I have and I am totally addicted! I am spending less time in Wal-mart these days b/c I can find stuff on ebay. I have run across some good deals and other stuff the same as in stores but that shipping charge will kill ya.

Anyone else like ebay??

EBAY- is my favorite thing to do! I have been addicted to it for like 2 years- Sometimes you do get great stuff sometimes you have to watch-- I love it because it is like a garage sale that changes every day!! Sometimes it is fun to just look- You never know what you will find- I was even selling for awhile- it was fun and easy, I even made some money- Just WAY to time consuming-I actually bought my treadmill on e-bay---when ever I'm looking for something I always check there first! Glad to see I'm not the only e-bay nut!!! Best of luck

I did my very first ebay transaction before Christmas last year. I ordered a Razor Scream machine (fancy big wheel) for my son. It was going to be his big present from the jolly fat dude. After the auction closed and everything was taken care of, including my certified check. I received a fraud alert from ebay(2 days later). It appears they had never verified the information provided by the seller and he didn't exist.

Ebay customer service was extremely unhelpful and wouldn't answer my questions or my emails.

I will never use ebay again.

I have an ebay story.. LOL. This was on MSN news or something like that.. maybe CNN. Anyway this guy and his wife were having a baby so he decided he needed a new car. The kind he wanted was some BMW but anyway it was very popular and all the dealers were on backorder for like a year so instead of waiting he contacted his friend at the FBI fraud division and asked him about buying cars over the internet and ebay, according to this FBI man it was the safest thing to buy online. So this guy went hunting. He found the car on EBAY for like 50k. Guess it is like 60k normally or something. So he sets up the buy placing his money in the escrow account. So after a few days his money was still there and he was getting no reply from the seller, so he contacted the guy again. The seller told him he was sorry but that place he was using was a fraud and he had changed and was now using a different one. So this guy did some research and all seemed in line so he moved his money to that account as instructed. Again no car, no reply from the seller. After a couple of days he got nervous and went to cancel the transaction to find out that his money is gone and the seller never really existed. The email account and every trace was gone. He said it was an expensive lesson but fortunately one he could afford but not everyone can afford to even have 100 dollars gone. He filed all the complaints but got nothing in response.

I know someone else that has had similar problems on y a h o o auction but on a much smaller scale.. LOL.

Oh yea and paypal does not make it safe. I bought something once using paypal and when I got it the item was not anything like what they say on the site, this site is now gone, I emailed paypal, and the site customer service and never got anything from either of them. Paypal did not even bother to reply. I know a lot have good luck with ebay and I think that is great. Just be careful, like anywhere else. Course I really dont think yall will be forking over 50k to buy a car, and if you can then I need a loan please.. LOL. Just thought the story was kinda interesting. Wish I could find it again!

As with most things you have to do the research first. I have sold many items on ebay and know that there are fruit loops out there who just don't know how it works. You have to check someones feedback. Check to see if they have hits against them or not enough feedback. I wouldn't recommend buying anything from them that costs more than you are willing to loose. But, there are wonderful buys out there and honest people selling them. So use your best judgement and have fun shopping!

I love ebay also ~ I have bought alot of things and sold some also and so far have never gotten burned I love to look and I always check the feedback also to determine how long they have been there and how many negatives are against them ! Right now I have been addicted to buying the italian charms I have bought 8 or so in the last month ~ Suz
