I tried to sell an expensive camera through eBay and after a month I gave up. Twice the auction completed and the person that won tried to scam me. I decided to go the Craigslist route and sold it in a few days to someone that I met at a local bank and we were both happy. eBay were not very good, in my case, either. I spent hours on the phone. It was clear that the person that won the auction bid up to insure they won it. I'm pretty certain I had legit buyers at lower bids, and I would have been happy to sell at those bids. The reason I even tried a second time was that I didn't know about the ability to exclude certain buyers. For the second auction I tweaked all the knobs that massively restricted the auction to only the safest buyers. I don't know what happened, but someone with an account that was a few hours old won the auction. I think it was the same person that won it the first time. I called eBay again and they voided the auction after a few days. It was a really horrible experience and I'll never use eBay to sell anything ever again.
