eBay worries me, so have not ventured there

isn't it risky?

not convinced that it's in any way *safe* read too many disaster stories

I did have someone hack my ebay account and list about 30 pairs of ugg boots ... but ebay noticed almost straight away before I did

they deleted the listings and made sure i didn't incur any charges ... i just had to choose a better password

other than that no probs at all. Bought a few things, sold a few things ... all happy endings

done 800+ transactions and never had any major issues...other than the odd non-payer, but ebay sorts that out.

books mainly, Open University books, teaching books, novels..sometimes the kids clothes if they are a decent make.

and Mr. IBM lost a sizeable amount via eBay last summer, the first problem I've ever had.

the seller had a feedback rating of 5000+, going back five years.

when the seller refused to take anything other than a bank payment, I did immediately report it to eBay who said it

was a communication error. I offered to pay by PayPal or via a whatchamacallit service, with us paying the fees.
