Personally I think Ebay is great for buyers. They've kind of been sticking it to the sellers recently on the fees, but I guess it's the price you pay for access to a world full of customers.

If you only bid on stuff from sellers with good feedback ratings and you'll have no problem. If something looks too good to be true it is. That's true for Ebay like it is for anything else. I don't think it shold be Ebay's responsibility to police that sort of stuff any more then they do now. Read the sellers feeddback before you buy. A guy can't get hundreds or thousands of positive ratings by ripping people off.

And try to remember if you get ripped off, it's not Ebay ripping you off, it's the seller.
