[78-L] "Good" eBay or "bad" eBay?

[Taylor Bowie]

Sometimes I think there must be two "eBays" on line...the terrible monster I 
keep hearing about from some of you,  or the easy-to-use auction company 
which I've come to count on.

I've been buying from eBay for nearly 15 years...I've had more than 10,000 
transactions,  both as a seller but mostly as a buyer.  The number of 
problems I've had can be counted on the fingers of one hand (I do have all 
five fingers!).

That said,  over the years I've found that I'm always more than satisfied 
when dealing with established sellers who know that they are doing.   For 
example,  I've bought literally hundreds of records from Warren Hodgdon for 
thousands of dollars,  and have never had even one glitch.

EBay is only as good or bad as the buyer and seller involved in a 
transaction.

As far as eBay's "bureaucracy" I have no issues.  Pay Pal is the most 
convenient form of sending and receiving money I've ever encountered.  None 
of my sellers overcharge in any way for shipping.

But of course the fewer record hunters who make use of eBay...the more for 
the rest of us!

More additions to the already lengthy liszt of reasons not to deal with 
ebarf! No matter how badly I might want something on offer, it wouldn't be 
worth the risk
of disappointment and aggravation with ebarf's bureaucracy, poorly informed 
sellers, exorbitant
shippers, and paypal. I'd prefer to wait and hope for it to turn up from a 
reliable, tsures-free source....
