A few years ago I was an Ebay Power seller with a fantastic worldwide reputation.I found that 99.9% of buyers was good honest people and worked my sales on trust,the day I received a cheque the item was posted.Living out in the country side I could only bank once a week I never had a problem with bounced cheques.

My problem was with international sellers USA and Canada was the worst two contries to buy from.I was then known as "1oldgit"

I decided to try buying from Ebay again due to in be mostly UK sellers the system now is much better you can be honest with the feedback you give without being given bad feedback for being honest.You still find some that state from a pet and smoke free home when you receive the item you could get cancer from it but they still deny it.

Ebay UK has changed for the better less scammers more honest sellers than in  the past when it was fully international.

One day Ebay will be able to be scam free and make it a pleasure to use the site until then keep checking the feedback before placing a bid better to be safe than sorry when some scum has your cash and you have nothing
