Have you participated in online auctions...

Mark and I have bought quite a few things on EBay and so far (knock on wood) and never had a bad experience.
I recently even bought a few things from Thailand and received it in a timely manner.
I've yet to sell, but I would like to try it sometime.

I love eBay. I buy and sell. Recently I have been selling a TON of baby items, that my boys no longer need. There is a lot of demand for that kind of stuff. I have never had a bad experience before, either, but my brother lost hundreds of dollars on a pair of Amps. for his guitar, that were never shipped to him, after he paid. The "eBay police" got involved and I think a small portion of the money was recovered, but it turns out the guys had done it to several people.

I enjoy watching the items and seeing what people will pay for a particular item...yes, it's my newest addiction...and it's bringing in some nice extra change/cash for me

I've sold and bought a lot on ebay. I've found the things I expect to have a lot of bidding activity gets one bid (or none) and the things I think are worthless get all the bids. Go figure! This just spurrs me to sell some of the stuff I was gathering together for Freecycle.... maybe that stupid soap dispenser is worth a few bucks. (PS: Anyone want a soap dispenser that is shaped like a woman in curlers and bathrobe, holding a cup of tea, with cat slippers on her feet? )

I bought three things last week for a project hubby is doing on the old railroads. His presentation board is going to look pretty awesome with the sprinkling of authentic stuff on it
