I've slowed my buying on ebay as well. There are so many useless auctions on there. When I decide to bid on something I try to be 100% confident that the seller is honest and that the transaction will go smoothly. Have you ever looked up diet pills on ebay? Check out some of those sellers feedback.
"Didn't work, faulty product" etc. etc. And yet people keep buying, and then giving them negative feedback. Why are people still buying? Do they not see the 100 negs in the sellers profile? (or however many it is..)
My dad was on ebay for years selling world banknotes. He would usually sell them for a dollar each. I think he had 97& positive feedback, and about 5000 positives. Too bad for that 3% because there are just some weird buyers out there who bid when maybe they shouldn't have.
I think ebay is a very good concept, yet there are many free to list auction sites out there that everybody should migrate to.
Did you know that if ebay finds out that you're a member and you negotiate a sale off their site, you can get banned? That's going too far for me.
