There are some problems associated with E-Bay at times.

The worst problem I had was having my account highjacked. I started getting all kinds of high bidder notices for things I did not bid on. I had to go in and retract all those bids. E-bay support is of no help whatsoever in these situations. All that I got accomplished was an endless line of e-mails back and forth with canned responses from e-bay. Actually contacting a person at e-bay is impossible, they have themselves insulated very well. It took 3 months for me to just get my account closed.

Before my account was compromised, I did have good results generally, buying and selling. There was only really one buy that I made on a studebaker windshield that was completely misrepresented. It was listed as "no cracks, ships or scratchs". It arrived packaged in what appeared to be a weeks worth of the guys garbage and was covered with crud and bird shit from setting for years. After a good cleaning, numerous rock stars and chips appeared. The seller agreed to a refund upon it's return, which I did. Of course, no refund ever did appear in my mail. Looking back, I should have just kept it for a template rather than spend the extra shipping on it as I ended up buying a damaged one at a local salvage for that purpose. Turned out to be a very expensive template in the long run.

This is the bad side of E-Bay when sellers misrepresent their items.
