Its always been like that - its fine to use if your sensible and careful - its just that there's too many people out there blinded by so called 'bargains' or out to make a quick buck, that they stop using their brain :rolleyes:

I've bought and sold many items without any problems :thumb:

I use it for items I can't get elsewhere - had some good bargains (USB GPS thingy and GPRS card) :)

I agree that you need to take plenty of care, as there are quite a few scams going.

e-bay

Never used it, but have friends who do, some daily. I suppose when ever you have something as big as e-bay you will always get those who want to try a scam on.

I love ebay, it's only a problem for the sort of people you see on watchdog! LOL Someone paved my drive for £50 and now it's falling apart! If it's too good to be true....it is!!! There are plenty of things to watch out for, stock pics instead of actual pics of the goods, prices that are too good to be true, poor grammer and use of English in the ad, and the biggest one, people asking you to email them using another addy as their ebay one is "broken" (more like they can't access it because they've hijacked someone's account!)
