Out of the thousands of transactions that I've done on ebay, my biggest problem has been winning bidders not paying but I have always been able to recover my ebay fees for these auctions and usually sell with a "second chance offer" so it's no big deal.

Out of the items that I have purchased, I have only been ripped on two small items. Both of these were years ago before Paypal got to be so popular (and wasn't owned by ebay) and I sent a money order and never received the item. That problem is easily solved now; I ONLY pay via Paypal. If a seller doesn't accept Paypal, they don't get my business. I've had a few people that I've paid via Paypal not send me the item, but I filed a dispute w/Paypal each time and they refunded my money EVERY time w/o hassle.

Like others have said where else can you find what you're looking for so easily and have it shipped to your door. My time is worth money and the less time spent scrounging junkyards, the more money I save in the long run.:)
