Ftw?

eBay is full of them...

Judging by his feedback, he's not a bad seller... what's the problem?

[Longitude Zero]

Never used eBay and never will.

Never used eBay and never will.

I just have a hard time trusting eBay. Never used it but just the idea.

[MLESa7990]

That sucks. Been using eBay for years, buying and selling. Never an issue.

ebay screwed the poouch when they started to hiding bidders idenities. When they did that sellers started bidding on their own items to run up the price without worry of the buyer finding out. Ebay will fade out of business within the next 2 years.

Shipping and handling prices!! It is a hidden way to increase proffits of sellers by charging extremely high prices to ship and handle your purchase. When the total price ends up more than actual retail price, are you getting a bargin?

There are good people and bad people everywhere......you can't hide from them. I have used E Bay for years with mostly positive results. It opens up the market to your item to a very large base of buyers. The last holster I tried selling on here went unsold for quite awhile, sold first day on E Bay.
At least there is some accountability on E Bay and you do have some recourse if things go bad. Just remember you don't have to buy an item if you feel it is overpriced.

I only use it for cheap stuff. Never anything I would feel badly in the wallet if I did not get. They do not care at all about helping buyers who get screwed. I learned that the hard way.

Ebay has become a scammers paradise. Have you been scammed there yet? If not, you will be soon.

I haven't bought anything on eBay for a while but I know they have changed some things for the worse. I mostly use it now for smalls, but my biggest purchase was a forklift. Worked out great.

Is this your first attempt to use eBay? On eBay, Baruarmsinc has 773 positive feedback transactions in the last 6 months and only 4 transactions with negative feedback. That's pretty good, even for a brick and mortar retail store. Reading the 4 complaints posted, it looks like they got some negative feedback from inexperienced eBay users who didn't realize they have to return the item to get their refund.

By the way, if you use PayPal on eBay, you have to work pretty hard to lose your money. PayPal will refund your payment anytime the item is not acceptable, for just about any reason, and always refunds your payment if the seller fails to ship.

In general, eBay rocks if you want fast shipping and the best prices on hard to find stuff that you can't buy locally.

If you use Pay Pal, they guarantee the sale and you can get refund. [ya I know they charge for using Pay Pal, but to me it is worth the protection.] Pay Pal has given me a refund on crap merchandise. Remember to ALWAYS use tracking when you ship something, I also take picture of item going into box before shipping. There are scammers that sell and scammers that buy.
I will continue to buy and sell on E Bay, just be aware.

I am on eBay a lot and according long time members on the forums, sales and traffic are way off from a few years ago and it continues to decline, slightly, every month. Every time they make another change to policy, price or the "cut" there is an immediate drop that is not recovered. On top of that, Amazon can beat them many time of new products, and it is cheaper to buy new on Amazon then used on eBay is being common, especially with some of the eBay's sellers crazy shipping prices.

Two years may be hopeful, but 5 is more likely, without a major, positive overhaul, they could be in trouble.

I've bought and sold a lot of stuff on ebay. The biggest purchase was a new MacBook. I've only had a few problem purchases and either the seller or paypal fixed it. There have been a few non-paying buyers, but I got credit for those. Overall, I've had a very good experience on ebay.
