I used to sell on ebay all the time. It was my first try at making money from home (I am a stay at home / work at home mom). I now do something else, but I still plan on shopping on ebay soon. I hope to find some good Christmas shopping deals on there.

If you use your common sense, you can avoid this. If you see designer goods for a very very cheap price that don't show the labels, you can be sure it's cheap. If someone actually shows certification of genuine labels, you can usually judge it for yourself.

I do both, but sometimes people suck! I've only had one problem buying but I've had lots of problems selling. People always ask you to bend your requirements. I even had one person ask me to lower the price after she had already bid and won the auction.

I have experienced that too. One girl charged me about 5 pounds postage, which I though was fair enough until the package turnd up and the item was way lighter than I expected and she'd put in in a paper envelope! She left me bad feedback for apparently 'complaining about postage after I'd bought the item!'. I only emailed her and commented that she'd over charged!

I buy and sell on Ebay. I only really sell things that are worthwhile selling like computer parts or anything that will make a bit of money. I find Ebay great for buying unusual things from abroad that I wouldn't usually find in the UK. I bought a glasses case from China covered in silk which was gorgeous for about 3 pounds! It's great for finding things like old books which aren't in the shops any more too. I've found lots of books from my childhood which I didn't think I'd get anywhere! You have to be careful of the people who try and rip you off with postage though.

So far I have only bought things off eBay but plan to start selling next year. I have so much stuff in good condition that we no longer need or use and think that it is time I offloaded some of it. In fact some of the things are brand new so it seems a shame to have them gathering dust when I can make some money by selling them.
Just got to get the time frame right, as we are planning a couple of trips for next year. LOL
I have bought things for my collections, i.e. tennis/hostess sets as well as apostle spoons, as well as things to use as Christmas present for friends.

I don't sell on Ebay but I do buy a lot of things from Ebay. Ebay is great I love it! The most I buy from Ebay is scrub tops for work. I work in a hospital so I buy a ton of those. I also buy a lot of children's clothes for my grandchildren. They are brand new clothes never worn and for cheap prices.

I have done both. I actually have a lot of items here I need to think about listing on Ebay for the Holidays. Like Computer games, Xbox games, and more.

I did last year. I bought and sold PS2 and Xbox games and actually made some profit. But I had to stop it as I live in a block of flats and one of my neighbours kept stealing the games when they arrived :( I'll be starting it again as soon as I move.
