I just recently won an auction for a vintage Paul Revere whistling tea pot. It was a 6 cup size pot that was so cute. On both sides of the pot it had the Paul Revere signature. The bottom of the pot said 1801 made in Korea with the stamp of Paul Revers head on it. The bottom of the pot was made of chrome and copper clad bottom. This tea pot was so cute. The seller was so kind and sent all details about the pot. When it arrived it was almost in mint condition. There was just a small scratch on the top by the spout. The little tea pot is really cool. Things like this are only found on ebay. I lucked out getting such a nice item. They still have a few left but some are not in quite the same condition of the pot I won. I hope anyone who might want something vintage looks at ebay to find it. I will always love ebay

I cannot imagine my life without Ebay! I can find there accessories and other stuff which I will never find in usual shop or it will take ages to find them. A couple of times I had some problems with the deliveries. Once I purchased a wooden bath brush and I received it broken in two parts and next time my parcel was lost… I don’t know whose fault was this but in both cases my claims were accepted and solved. I didn’t experience any problems with PayPal transactions so far.

I am very unhappy with the high fees and MORE importantly NO SELLER SUPPORT EBAY! The micro-managing on the part of Ebay staff is ridiculous and the seller no longer has any kind of voice but the expectations are constantly raised on the sellers.
Have I been screwed by Ebay? Nope. No horrible experiences to relate. No hidden agenda. Just wishing the old Ebay (pre-2008) I knew would surface from the rubble.
I do NOT recommend selling to potential new sellers on Ebay. I cannot imagine starting as a seller in their horrible environment as I've been "almost" screwed by buyers by not realizing that Ebay did not have my best interests and had certain DEFAULT settings in my account set so that I could be screwed (and this is after having the same acct with them for over 10 years!) Run, do not walk away from Ebay.

I have had an amazing experience with ebay.com. I had to gift a pair of earphones to my best friend on his birthday. Ebay provided me a wide collection of earphones across brands to choose from... Now here's the exciting bit. Wasn't expecting my order before my friend's birthday as I ordered it late but to my surprise I received it a day before his birthday! Kudos to ebay.com for being my savior! I still have an e gift voucher with me from eBay.

Good, but Not as good as it used to be. Too many companies in various locations of the world now. A lot of misleading descriptions and pics. Don't know what u can trust and what you can't. Used to be a lot more individuals who actually had experience w/the item they were selling. Now, stock descriptions are used and the seller may or may not even know if It's accurate. As long as you know what you want, where u want to get it from, and check the seller's feedback and check the item description carefully, you should be good. I've only had s couple problems in 12 yrs of using the site.

I have been an ebay member for 12 years both as a buyer and seller. I love the site. The only thing I feel that you need to look out for are counterfeit items. There are a lot out there. Ebay offers guides on how to spot fakes and they have been helpful with my purchases.

If you have a paypal account make sure your ebay and paypal passwords are not the same just in case your ebay account gets hacked. My fiance had his hacked and his address and phone numbers were changed.

I sometimes shop on ebay as ebay has everything you could ever want at some point or another. I have a healthy fear of shopping on ebay and I always use PayPal. There is a ton of fraud on ebay so that is why only four stars. What makes ebay so great is that it is a great shopping resource. I go to ebay before shopping elsewhere so as to obtain as much information about the item I want. Great pictures and detailed information is available on ebay which makes it one of the best shopping resources.
