Are you that desperate to sell and buy crap that you have to go to this ridiculous website??? Anyone who uses or goes to e-bay or anyother such should be confined for observation.

I strongly disagree- I got a WONDERFUL pair of BOSE 911 speakers from ebay for about 1/4 the cost of a new pair.

They are the best speakers I have ever owned

Doc, Ain't that the truth...Ebay will continue to get worse as the scammers get more sophisticated. Ebay has to change the business model or risk problems.

I have had over 400 very good transactions with people and have bought speakers, ram, mobo/cpu combos, hard drives, cell phones, rare and out of print books/cds, and various other items. Every time I got a great deal and wound up with a delightful experience, as opposed to dealing with some halfwit with an attitude in a checkout line and paying twice as much.

The poster's problem was not with ebay. The problem will not be fixed by closing her ebay account. The problem is not realizing YOU SHOULD NEVER CLICK ON AN EMAIL LINK TO A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OF ANY SORT, whether it is Scottrade, BankofAmerica, Ebay, Paypal, or uggabugga money for you, dot com. That practice is simply stupid and like pulling all your money out of the bank and leaving it downtown on the sidewalk overnight.

Funny. I make half my income selling "crap" on eBay. That you don't care for the site is meaningless.

I make a half dozen or so purchases from Ebay a year. I haven't ever had a problem. You just need to use common sense. For example, only buy from people with a long list of good feedback.

I plan on being the last person in America to get an eBay account, but yours is a ridiculous statement. To each his own. There's nothing inherently wrong with eBay. I wish I'd have thought of it.

You don't get out much do you?

Or are you one of the jealous ones that hates seeing people make a LOT of money?
