Do you like ebay? Or hate it? Do you buy, sell or do both on ebay? I do both buying and selling! I love it. I sometimes overpay though on auctions because I get caught up trying to win. We buy alot of electronic stuff, and I buy alot of custom made baby clothing. What about you? Do you do alot of shopping on ebay? Do you like it? If you sell, have you had any problems with it??
Thanks!!;)

I love to ebay. I don't do it for money, thought that is a good perk, I just enjoy buying and selling on there. Mostly I sell things that I just don't want anymore. I use whatever money I make, 4cuteboys, to bid on things there as well. Never had a problem either, so far.

Yes, I love eBay because I can make extra money selling stuff I don't want and someone else can buy it. I love finding brand new CDs for just 4 USD including the shipping. Much cheaper than going to the store and buying it. Brand name clothes can bough gently used for very cheap on there, and so much other stuff can bought there on there.
Selling, I have had a problem with it. One time the buyer didn't pay the money so I had to report him to eBay and they refunded my listing money. I was pretty annoyed. They eventually closed his account so I couldn't leave him negative feedback. Another time I bought something from a seller and she just made a CD-R copy of it. I was pretty angry with her. She wouldn't give me a refund so I left her negative feedback and reported her to eBay.
Other than that, those are the only two problems I have had with eBay since I have been with them (since 1998 I joined their website). Have a nice day.

Hey Pablo! I think that is common about the copy! Not good. I have sold video games before and get alot of questions like "is this a copy" of course it is not a copy! yikes! I am sure that must be against ebay rules to sell a copy! I dont blame you for being irritated!
That stinks about the buyer. I've had a few of those, but probably over 250 selling transactions, so most were good.

I did use Ebay quite a bit a few years ago but recently i have not used it so much, last time i did use it was to buy something and that was about six months back. Selling items on ebay now has become expensive because they recently imcreased seller rates which was a bad move. There are alternatives but none offer the potential customers that ebay can and thats why its still the biggest. If i need something that i cant find anywhere else i would still check ebay but only as a last resort.

I have never used ebay, it's not all that popular here in my country and quite a lot doesn't ship to other countries. We have a popular alternative here though which I've used a couple of times, but definitely not much.

I love e-bay! When I first found out about E-Bay I was addicted- I was on all the time- Especially at work- I'd find myself sitting there surfing and bidding for hours! So then I thought I better stop this- For starters I was at work & I was spending alot of money! I used to sell on e-bay also- it's been at least a year- But I have a big pile of stuff to list again! My daughter is going to help me this time- I've never had any problems- Always got paid or gotten my purchases!

Yea, we all like ebay around here. We buy and sell. Mostly buy though. I don't buy clothes on there b/c I can buy from the thrift store cheaper and know what I'm getting. But electronics, books, movies, stuff like that, and jewelry. We have bought 2 cars off ebay too. A few problems, but you have to do your research before you bid, check out feedback, etc. We do.

I like ebay, i've bought and sold. Sometimes I overpay on auctions because I don't like to wait for auctions to be done so I just buy it now a lot of times.

my father orders from ebay ALL THE TIME! has found things from his own childhood and loves to share them with his own kids and his grandson. it's special to him to find all this great stuff, and you can find anything! i haven't shopped on it yet, but we don't have much money right now, but i know a lot of people who shop on there. you mentioned sometimes you overpay cuz you get competitive...that's how i would be, and when i want something, i want it! and hate fighting for it!! ha ha!

I love everything about Ebay!! I buy most of my kids clothes on there, and mine too =) I get books and CD's or DVD's there cheap too!! I sell alot on there, my kids clothes after they outgrow them, stuff from around the house that we don't use any more =) I have had some buyers claim that they didn't get their item and ask for a refund, it is frusterating knowing you send something and they claim they didn't get it, but I usually just issue them a refund to avoid any drama and keep the peace.
