<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 822740, member: 17557&quot;]As a buyer on eBay, I have to say I&#039;m pleased with the experience. Sometimes I get steals, sometimes I don&#039;t, most of the time I deal with good sellers, but there have been those rare occasions where I&#039;m not dealing with the best seller in the world. As a buyer you hold all the power, and I have heard bad stories from sellers about how a buyer has screwed them over, about making a false claim. I guess that is the way the cookie crumbles though.</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay is just in it for the money, and the seller isn&#039;t treated as good as he/she should be. You can no longer leave negative or neutral feedback as a seller, you can only leave positive. To me, that makes absolutely no sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a seller you have to accurately list the item, provide good pictures, set a reasonable shipping price, and a starting bid and/or buy it now price. You have to have good feedback, good communication skills, and be able to ship the item out on time. And even if you do all that, you might still get a negative from some loose fingered newbie who cries and complains because he didn&#039;t want the item, or didn&#039;t read the description right, and if you refuse to give a refund....you get hit with a negative, and PayPal gives the buyer a refund anyway, because the buyer is the #1 priority!</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay has its problems, like I mentioned but they do some things that are nice. Number 1, if you can think of it...it is on eBay. You can get some steals from sellers, not knowing what they are selling or not accurately describing it, or putting it in the wrong section. I would believe that eBay is the largest auction site in the world, but that would by my guess. There are so many options on eBay, so many different coins, and grades, you have a wide selection, and if you miss out on a deal, you will have a second chance soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have to know what you are buying though, in anything there will be fakes, and knock offs, have to be careful and do your homework. There are deceitful people out there, wanting to trick an unsuspecting buyer, just the way the world is...only way to really fight that is knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, eBay from a buyer&#039;s point of view, is okay, and from all my experiences, I&#039;d give it an A.</p><p>From a seller&#039;s point of view, it is a complete toss up, depends on the person...for me, I&#039;d give it a B or C.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
