I have yet to have a bad experience as a buyer. I only had one as a seller, when the winning bidder had their account revoked. If in doubt, always pay via Paypal because they will protect your payments up to a certain amount (is it £500?) smurfboy38761.626087963

Very little in life is 100% secure and foolproof. You have to decide whether it's worth the risk.

It's no different to buying from a shop or  a catalogue.

Plus the thrill of the chase.  My husband won a 'possibly Roman' votive frog yesterday.  You don't get those in Tesco!

I should have been more suspicious when I noticed the 'Dishwasher and Microwave Safe' label on the bottom....

Start with some small things like books to see how it works and then move onto other things.

I am on 800 and something positive feedback.

Your feedback amazes me Choccy. I have never seen anyone with so much feedback without a single negative.

I once had 2 neutrals but that was to do with postage, not the actual item. It was meant to go first but went second so she left negative.

Bitch! I hope you left her negative in return.


I have 100% positive but I only have 64 transactions so far.

No I left positive. They didn't even contact me before leaving it.

What sort of things sell well on ebay? Ive heard people scrounging in skips and pound shops for stuff to sell on there. 
Title: Ebay
Post by: smurfboy on February 14, 2006, 04:15:47 pm

Toys sell well I find - I get end of line stuff cheaply from work sometimes and have made good profits on it. Also most brand name clothes will sell, and it doesn't necessarily have to be designer; things like Next and Per Una go well.


I've bought things from charity shops and sold them on, but I haven't gone as far as skip scrounging yet!

Per Una skirts sell really well. Next sells quite good. As does Miss Selfridge
