Why do so many have problems with eBay?

[FrustratedUser]

I've only won 5 auctions but most of them have been in the $500 range (bike stuff) and I've had no problems yet. Big boxes, 2 shipments from Canada, Money order every time.

Everything has been smooth.
So, you guys with problems. Are you using eBay a lot or only a few times?

no real big problems with fleabay. I sold some stuff and the numbnut buyers backed out. I only lost a couple of cents on insertion fees so no big deal.

It's the sellers who have problems, not the buyers, unless you somehow bought something from a zero feedback user. But that's your choice to do so. Sellers do not have a choice as to who the item can be sold to on ebay.

I've done about 30 purchases and 2 sales on eBay. I like it. The only issue I've had was with this guy in New Jersey who waited 30 (thirty!!) days to send me a rare Armitage III action figure. But he had no feedback, so I was kinda warned. I'd of bought from someone else, but there weren't any other sellers.
