If you are a buyer, eBay.com is a wonderful, cheap site to do your shopping and is very reliable. It is filled with many distributors that sell their products much cheaper than what you would pay in a store. At least, depending who you're buying from. It's one of the few sites I'll purchase from online. And here's why:
I've purchased from eBay for years and all from different people and every time has been successful. The key to having a successful purchase is to read the ratings people have given the seller. This is shown beside the item's picture under the seller's name. If the seller is rated above 90% by many people (not just 1 or 2), you can assume it's safe to order from them.
I suggest you scroll down where there's a page full of detailed information about the product (usually in bold, colourful font). There you will see information regarding the size of the item, the materials it's made of, the average time it takes for the product to arrive in different countries, and how to contact them if there's an issue. A good seller will always encourage you to contact them if there's a problem and they will gladly fix it for you. But, you'll probably never need to contact them.
The item usually ships between 1-2 days business days after you pay for it. The seller will specify. It will take longer if you order an item that needs to be specially made. It took a little over a week for the seller to ship a costume she had designed for me. That's understandable. The item will usually arrive between the time frame the seller says. Note the "usually". It may take a few days more or a few days less. It is just an estimate. But it's usually pretty accurate. It has been for me anyways.
I hope this has been helpful for you. You can trust eBay if you buy from them.

Purchased an 4S i-phone from them on EBAY and paid top dollar. The item was described as a 9/10 and in mint condition. The phone looked nice, however the microphone at the charging port was bad. I had this repaired on my dime. I contacted seller to ask for my $54.11 in repairs to be refunded. Nothing to date and I really don't expect they ever will refund this. As for EBAY, can't leave negative feedback for a power seller for 7 days. This is slanted toward the seller. A bad deal is bad deal no matter where it was purchased.

Member since 1997. I was a buyer but needing money, I became a seller. So far so good but the fees are killing me! I've always had 100% feedback. I just got a handbag I wanted to replace my worn out one. It was a rare discontinued bag but I was patient & instead of paying $239, I got it for $60, used twice & I believe it because it looks brand new! So far no probs. Selling!
I've had to call eBay for advice over the years & they're always friendly & helpful, of course I treat them with respect! Same thing with paypal!

Not only are their products bad quailty and unprofessional, their seller is EXTREMELY rude to paying customers! I was told that I am 'small minded' and 'needed to get a life', this seller's products are meant to be helping people how have mental issues, so if this is how they deal with a complaint, it shows that they don't care about their paying customers or understand what they are selling.

I think Ebay itself lets people get away with too much!

Im and Ebay seller. And I absolutely love this site. Only thing I dont like about it is some sellers can be dishonest about a product there selling like fake phones trying to pass it off as a real one. Be careful when purchasing high priced items! And buyers can be just as bad... ebay is more on buyer side then seller side... a buyer can be greedy and want a refund for a merch they purchased which is in perfect condition and whats described and ruin a sellers rep at a drop of a hat. And ebay gives no f@#ks. I only sale new items and i check them before i ship out just to be sure... I re-frame from selling used items and auction i tend to stay away from also. Beeee careful when selling also.

Ebay is good site for buyers, but very bad for the SELLERS. Too many formalities and lots of unwanted restrictions. Charges on the seller is VERY, VERY HIGH. I just migrated to Amazon.com. They look more transparent and reasonable. They give much freedom to the seller and also have very good reputation than ebay. Ebay looks as if it got sold out to paypal. Both of them handle things and make a lot of money. PURELY BUSENESS, JUST LIKE A BUTCHER SHOP. NO MORAL VALUES. They restrict the seller, by giving "SELLING LIMITS/ PER MONTH". They ask sellers to call them and BEG them for INCREASING THE SELLING LIMITS. They think that they are next to the Great president "Barack Obama", hence they treat the sellers low. How ever amazon has on great drawback. It will not give an opportunity to display photos of the actual products, to attract the buyers. This restriction on amazon sucks the buyers. IF AMAZON ACCEPTS THE PUBLISHING OF PHOTOS ON THEIR WEB SIT, E-BAY WILL BE NO WHERE ON THE GLOBE.

They treat the sellers HORRIBLE and also I bought a necklace from them and the seller told me the it should be there within 3 weeks. So I waited and then I message him and they said it should be on its way please wait another week. So after that week past I opened up a case and Ebay said there is nothing you can do because You reached you time of limitations for them to refund you. But I never got my Necklace! My money was stolen and they don't care. I am very upset and angry.

I have sold clothing to this website in the past and received a fair offer. This time, after I shipped my items, I was notified by twice that the bag was damaged in transit, but not to worry, if they determined that the damage occurred due to the shipping issue, they would still compensate me. A few days later, I received my offer. Most of my items were rejected for holes/stains/snags. The items did not have holes/stains/snags when shipped, so it seems likely to me that the damage occurred when the bag ripped (i've seen what damaged letters look like when they get to my house through the USPS). When I contacted Twice, the customer rep assured me that she would look into it. She noted that usually the damage from USPS shipping was a dark oily stain. I explained to her via email that my items weren't damaged when shipped, and that I felt the holes/snags/stains occurred when the bag ripped during the shipping process. That seems logical, correct?

Twice completely stopped responding... did not respond to e-mails or phone calls. I think they are waiting for the offer to expire.
