There are so many retailers on there now it is difficult to find any decent items - the only filter you can use is used/2nd hand but there is a lot of new stuff that everyday people sell - if I wanted to buy from a store I would buy direct!!

i`ve never considered e-bay to be anything other than a money making enterprise

I have noticed that quite a few things are high in price and i will only buy if i`m getting good value, a bargain. Yes i to would go to the local retailers for things i really want if the price is the same....

Well its best to go on to ebay with an idea of what the items cost in a 'normal' shop and not pay more bearing in mind postage costs etc. Also its worth searching on a website like pricerunner or even plain google for the items to see if they are available from conventional websites

i completely agree and was just saying this to someone yesterday! when it started you could get a bargain now it's just people trying to flog off stuff for more than it's actually worth, people trying to scam you and new stuff. I don't buy off there anymore as I realised shopping was more expensive using it. i'm sure you can get the odd bargain on there but not on a regular basis.

I agree. I was on the other day wishing I could somehow filter out the stores. It is crazy it should be for people to sell not stores. The stores should get their own site.

Still odd bargain available from private sellers but definitely too many new and shop items

That's a good observation. The way to handle that is to find an Internet site that gets back to the basics. Maybe Craigslist for example.

I agree you sometimes end up paying more for it on E-bay now. With the cost of shipping it would be cheaper just to go to the store.

relies upon on what you're searching for! CDs are stupidly much less high priced and it truly is stable for difficult to get books. additionally very stable for bulk buys like couple of minutes luggage! attempt mispelling once you seek for an merchandise, sometimes you may %. up products that have slipped in the time of the typical seek channels.

Hmm, depends what you are looking for. Its odd as i both buy and sell, and it seems to me like the things i want to buy are always rather costly, but whenever i sell i could of got a better price elsewhere....
