we have done a fair bit on ebay and it is good.
however, you have to be careful for sure.
we sold a camcorder for $800 to someone in indonesia and paypal reversed the money he had paid because he was using someone elses credit card. luckily the guy reported this to paypal right away. paypal didn't report it to me though - it was only because i was looking around in my account with them that i discovered it.

i had already shipped the camcorder so it was too late and i wasn't covered by paypal's 'insurance' because the country was indonesia.

however, i had sent it via courier fortunately and thanks to an extremely diligent individual in their department they were able to recover the item for me minus the shipping of course. ebay naturally zapped the guy's account - they are pretty good i've found.

haven't done anything for a couple of years though so i don't know how things are these days.

in friendship,
prad

I am a frequent seller on Ebay. The service is very good. I refuse to sell anything over £150 in value because you never know. Generally though, most people on there are trustworthy.

well-now ebay and paypal are owned by the same people, thus i'm starting to wonder...the way i see it, you've gotta be able to sell using paypal, like it or not...😕
