DAMNIT i just sold something on ebay and the bastard hasnt payed.. bah just filed a unpiad disbute too.. this really sucks why the hell would you bid if u cant pay
I have done both for a long time and only got ripped once buying sat cards to hack back in the day. I just sold my 69 bronco for 17500 and not a problem. I try to take paypal only confirmed addresses and I cancel bids that have not established feedback records. And it goes without saying DO NOT ship until the money is in the bank. You can report the looser and relist for free. Rick
Overall I haven't gotten burned on eBay, both buying and selling. When selling I just never ship unless I have a paypal payment or USPS money order cashed first.
i got a my02 sti cluster off of ebay for really cheap and it's the biggest steal ever. i was more than pleased. it's my only ebay purchase but i was very pleased.
