My use of Ebay has changed recently as it's become one of three selling avenues for what I'm doing now.
It's absolutely true, as Humph comments re normal retail, that some buyers will walk all over sellers and it is a real fight if you stand up to Ebay/Paypal. Thankfully I see very few problems as the typical profile of my buyers is older enthusiasts/collectors who by and large are very pleased to have the things I sell.
I would hate to be involved with mobile phones, video games etc which are frequently bought by those that would scam you.
Fair enough if others have given up selling on Ebay because it seems too much trouble but compare it with any other marketplace then the benefits of an immense worldwide audience and high prices achieved still easily outweigh the potential negatives.
