Do you eBay? What do you do there?

I have never sold anything on ebay but I have bought a couple things.. the items I purchased I wasn't too happy with so I never have got anything after that.. I do go on there a lot just to browse and see what is on there.. lately I have seen a couple pople complain about items being listed on their acounts for sale that they never listed so that really keeps me from doing the whole selling thing on there.. I would much rather just have a yard sale or sell it on craigslist because I am too scared of getting scammed on ebay..

Thanks for the discussion about ebay. I have never tried either buying or selling yet. I have an account, but have never gone beyond that. I will keep reading the comments posted here. That will help me decide if I want to try it or not.

I go in spurts, sometimes I am there all the time and other times I don't visit for months. I got burned a few times with some high ticket Lego sets and was ready to give up on the site all together. I don't think they have the greatest customer service team to deal with complaints.

I have bought many things on EBay and have not gotten burnt yet. I have not sold anything on there yet but in the future I might try. Most of the things that I purchase are for my native American crafts and I check out the feedback of the sellers. If they have good feedback and lots of it I do not worry much but if they do not have much feedback or lots of bad feedback I will stay away from that seller.

Im more of a seller at ebay.ph its free to sell there. I sell mainly clothes and a buyer too usually cellphones its kinda cheaper and theres a chance to haggle hehe

I've bought a few things from ebay including a memory module for my very old HP laser printer that was way too expensive through HP. I did the "buy it now" and the shipping was almost as much as the module. I have thought about selling some stuff, but have never taken the time to learn how and now I have read that the cut ebay takes has gone up considerably. Also, I wonder how to figure out what to put down for the shipping and handling charges for any given item.

I have read the first few responses beforr replyiing . the discussion reveals the mixed nature of experiences of different participants. My own expeiences are also mixed . I bought three items . Out of them one was worst from all aspects . My money was totally lost on it . 2nd was also a scrap for money than value for money . That also discouraged me . The third was somewhat tolerable .

I have to say i've got a few things off ebay mostly books for me i have been thinking about becoming a seller but the fees seem to be getting high.

I do both and I enjoy it. I have bought many different things from ebay and I am one of the lucky ones who has never had any problems. I always really check out both sellers and buyers before doing business. I try really hard to describe everything in detail so buyers know exactly what they are getting into. I have bought 2 laptops at different times from different sellers and I love both of them. I have also bought numerous clothes, autographed photos, sports stuff and eBooks. My overall experience with ebay is terrific. I have recently opened an eBay store and am trying to increase my selling. Right now I just have ebooks listed but I have had luck selling clothing also. The largest thing I have ever sold was a boat motor. I always take the fees into consideration when setting the starting or buy it now price for my items, so that really isn't a big deal to me. The new shipping changes with the USPS have made a difference though, because I prefer to ship Priority Mail and that is so expensive now. The way I look at it, selling on ebay is a business and just like any other business, there are going to be expenses. One of the best things about eBay is using it to get traffic to my websites where I don't have to pay any ebay fees. That is really where the money comes from, so if I lose a little on the auctions, I make up for it with new customers to my websites where I sell things for a higher price. As far as buying goes, it just takes due dilligence. Check out the reputation of every seller before bidding. Be sure to email the buyer and ask any questions you have before bidding. I sometimes email the seller simply because they way they respond to me helps me decide what kind of person they are and if I want to do business with them. eBay is not for everyone and there are certainly many, many scammers on there but I still love it.

yes, I do eaby. I usually buy electronic products from ebay, such as MP4, digital camera, electronic watch. I like ebay because there are some many kinds of commodities available for choosing. also, the price is very competative. I like ebay and I will do a lot of buyings from ebay.

I used to do a lot on Ebay but got a bit addicted then my computer crashed and I missed being able to sell during the Christmas rush. I was going to try again this Christmas as I have some things to sell but it seems to have become expensive in my absence. I think I will try the up and coming Dublai instead.

Hi I did the EBay game for awhile. I bought lots of things and sold alot of things to. I have stopped for awhile since the fees were costing me to much, and it made me mad to pay Ebay and then have to pay PayPal fees for my buyers purchase. I am considering doing Ebay again but I think the lower cost auction site are more likely to be my choice.

I look at the ebay stuff, but I haven't bought anything. I brought some stuff to the V-bay place (Vermont Ebay place that helpe you sell on ebay). They took the pictures and wrote up the merchandise as well as send and insure it. I just brought a couple of items in and they did the rest after a short interview and a few forms.

i am a chinese .and ebay is not popular here . i used to be a ebayer .but some times later i found that many chape goods are fake .such as a pair of NIKE shoes sells at about 15$ . since i know this i had never buy things there
