Basic advice when selling via Ebay and a warning.

[save2600]

Your experience and a lot of others are well documented here on the site. Some problematic countries like Spain, Italy, France and Portugal have been repeatedly mentioned. To complain 2 days after you posted it? What a crock. Sounds like a total scammer to me. On other video game and computer group sites we have a known 'GOOD' and known 'BAD' sellers & buyers lists. Maybe one could be started here?

Ebay based on my many years of experience.....

Ebay 1999 = Very cool
Ebay 2009 = Den of theives, shop/sell at your own risk

Your milage may vary.

Exactly Plaz. Good call. Important to consider why this is. 1999: more savvy computing people with integrity had internet access, developed rapports and traded online. 2009: everybody and their grandmother now owns a 'puter. Lowest common denominator is winning the war against common sense and decency. ePay as a whole disgusts me today. So does most of society. I think I'm going to puke now. lol

A list of good vs bad sellers will prove a huge task I think. And, if you check a sellers feedback list (all feedback) on eBay, you can tell if they are safe to deal with.

Not at all. You create a new forum called 'User Feedback' in the Marketplace and for each user name (ePay, here, elsewhere), you'd start a new topic. When you want to add a positive or negative comment you simply check to see if their user name is already on the list. If it is, click on the link and 'reply' to it with your $.02. If not, start a new one and flame on or report positively!
