I've been doing a lot of buying and selling on ebay recently and have had nothing but excellent experiences. Even when things (inevitably) go wrong they seem to be handled fairly. This is a fairly recent development btw (I've been a member since 2002). I'd urge anyone who has been avoiding ebay due to their reputation from 10 years ago to give it a second chance. Either they've changed or Amazon has lowered the bar so far that ebay doesn't seem so bad these days!
