Do you trust Ebay?

I trust ebay by itself - but you have to investigate the seller before you buy anything from there.

I've sold/bought quite a few items on ebay - the only problem I had was when I was dumb enough to buy a Sony psp memory stick without taking into account the fact that the seller was in Hong Kong.

NEVER buy anything from sellers in Hong Kong.

Why what happened?

They sent me a counterfeit, inoperable product.  After I got my money back they tried to exploit ebay's payment system to get me to pay for it again (it didn't work).

 After that, they'd email me once a week for two months asking for positive feedback.  I did not give them negative feedback because they'd retaliate with unjustified negative feedback towards me, and of course I did not want to give them positive feedback either.  I'm so glad sellers can't do that anymore (at least, they won't be able to soon).
