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

[David Weiner]

Same here, Taylor! I've bought & sold thousands of itms on eBay since 1998
and have had less than 5% problem transactions.  I have acquired many,
many records that I never thought I'd own.  My experience on the site has
been overwhelmingly positive.
