I've found it absolutely invaluable, both for selling stuff more easily (and for better money) than would have been possible elsewhere, and for finding obscure/rare stuff too.<br />As for the quibble by Dippyness, No!

I have bought a lot of bargains and made more on selling my stuff than I could through any other channel. I have had one problem in the 300 odd transachions I have made- better than either the real world or Amazon etc. In my experience eBay takes shill bidding very seriously, as it undermines the site exactly as you say.

This way the price goes up.<br />If at the end of the bidding, your "friend" has bought the item. No problem. You contact the next highest bidder with some excuse & sell the item to them.<br />Would I buy on e-bay? NO.

I've never had a problem with EBay- but then, I rarely buy stuff on there and only when it's not available/convenient to get from the high street. I bought some rare semi-collectable cutlery on behalf of my mum last month, and no problems were had.<br /><br />The old yardstick can't be emphasised enough:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652557843713412263.post-51230609093588827202009-09-12T17:06:38.117+01:002009-09-12T17:06:38.117+01:00as for bob - did it go up to eleven?as for bob - did it go up to eleven?the man who fell back to bedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509908059958841049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652557843713412263.post-43822397233467562292009-09-12T17:06:17.061+01:002009-09-12T17:06:17.061+01:00hmm... never had a problem with either tbh. as for...hmm... never had a problem with either tbh. as for fakes, scams etc, the same thing applies as on the high street I find - if it looks too good to be true, it's because it is.<br /><br />as for PC world, yes, the shop monkeys in there do seem for the most part to be particularly inept specimens of the breed but if you do your homework first and know what you're talking about anyway I findthe man who fell back to bedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509908059958841049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652557843713412263.post-64211152749441352722009-09-12T15:56:24.981+01:002009-09-12T15:56:24.981+01:00Never had an issue with them myself.

Though I did find driving 2 hours to Truro and trying to squeeze a full Marshall amp stack into my Peugeot 106 and then driving 2 hours back a bit of a pain in the arse. If you think they are bad, try fucking Amazon...now there's a mighty shower of shit. Slow, overpriced and awkward to deal with when they make a mistake.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904181998734097782noreply@blogger.com
