OK, I'll jump on my soap box too ........... this is my personal experience only .......... I've been using ebay since early 2004, and to press I've only had a couple of minor problems, with one he sent me a replacement, the other never replied, but for 99p I wasn't going to loose any sleep. Then we have Pay Pal, if you allocate 1 account with a few quid in it then it's fine, but it will take about 10 days for payment to clear, you need to allocate a credit or debit card as well to get instant payment .......... your choice .......... again I've been enrolled with PayPal since 2004; I've had one problem, some scum bag in Indo-China scammed just over £550 out of my account, I knew nothing about this till PayPal emailed me saying "we've detected a problem" ........... and a couple of weeks later the money went back into my account ....... so ........ from my perspective I'm pretty happy with the service to date :scratch: Mind though I have a feed back with eBay of #210 (100% too :beer: ) but I've only ever bought stuff, to date I've never tried to sell anything. .............. is this the difference .................. hth :smart: CC |

CrewCab, I think that is the main difference. All of the problems I have ever encountered as a buyer have always been very smooth and easily dealt with. But selling on the other hand has always been very very frustrating. Each time I have tried to sell anything I have always had my account frozen. On one particular occasion the money was frozen in my account, and I had to pove ownership of the items that I was selling, aswell as postage details. I got around it in the end by waiting for the buyers to write me emails which I forwarded to PayPal and my money was free again. I'll only ever use ebay for buying now, never selling again. |

Ebay is fantastic if your a buyer - everything is in your favour and you can never lose. It is selling that is the issue. |

I mean it's not like I'm trying to sell the GrandKids ...... :lol: .......... after all, let's be fair I'd pay you to take them :beer: CC |
