What items lend themselves to a safer Ebay experience than others? I just unknowingly purchased a stolen phone from ebay. I called my provider before the purchase, and they warned me of this risk. I went ahead because of price and sure enough... After I found out it was stolen, I began to warn my tech support customers about ebay, and one seemed to take it personally, being that he's a power-seller. He said it depends on what you buy.

What are the best alternative online marketplaces to ebay? Or do they effectively have a monopoly? I now find that ebay's seller fees cut too far into my margins on low value items. To rub salt in my wounds, they charge again for accepting payment by Paypal (part of the same company). The final straw has come from them imposing tight limits on the number of responses a seller can make to enquiries after a listing expires or sells out. Ebay say this is to protect members from being spammed - Any fool can see it is really about protecting themselves from sales off ebay - leaving sellers with no means of contacting their potential customer. Recent fee increases have been ludicrously high, and I only hope that it backfires on them, with sellers doing as I am doing and seeking out an alternative. I don't know their current profits, but in the 3rd quarter of 2004, they averaged $2million A DAY! Seems that isn't enough for the greedy bastards!

How is it possible for someone to sell information to a NON EBAY site ? This EBayer is deceptively selling CD's by only selling information to prospective buyers of where to purchase the same item at a lesser cost with free shipping. He has NO INVENTORY and is selling information. I have contacted EBay about this ( today ) and he STILL is selling ! Not only do I find that this is deceptive and wrong but, it is removing revenues from EBay. The other sellers ( of the same items or all CD's ) are losing out to his deception . Why does EBay not shut him down immediately for, they are losing revenues as well ? I am hoping you EBay folks will help me put an immediate stop to this person. If, you are selling CD's - he'll steal away all your potential buyers ! Anyone wishing to complain to EBay about this individual is welcomed to do so ! Seller name is yrret13 and must be stopped !

Going to a flea market, spending all that time, buying all that stuff, paying all those Ebay fees to make a few bucks. Not worth it. In fact, usually you'll be in the hole if that's all you make.
