as an ebay buyer of many years and many dollars, I can attest that the site has been rapidly deteriorating...fewer antique items of quality, better sites are around for used stuff, and Amazon and other Google search suppliers far better for new items (and used), without the quality questions and uncertainty of what you may end up with ebay purchases....I still use it as a useful source but perhaps only 10% of former purchase volume.......(hope ebay has a strong enough porn backbone for survival??)
ebay scams have taken over, which can get very costly--lack of bidder identification and feedback changes have reduced buyer confidence....in general it is no longer worth the cost and hassle for either buyer or seller....
