Burned on Ebay?

[Dkevdog]

I guess I'm lucky, In the four years I've been on Ebay I've only had a handlful of bad experiences. This is in a total of more than 1000 transactions, both business and personal. The few bad expereinces have been false bidding to drive up prices or those who have bid on an item and then don't pay. I've always received what I have bid on and won. If you didn't I would suggest letting ebay know, they have insurance against this and can assist you in getting a partial if not complete refund.

Do any of you use the escrow option (paypal) when buying on e-bay?

I use it, but limit my amount in escrow at around 50 dollars. It is so if I want or need something fast, I dont have to wait for the Paypal check verification. I have had no problems with Paypal. It also makes it easy for people to refund your money if the item is damaged. This has happened three times.
