[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rolleiman</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rlandry6</i> <br /><br />I wouldn't buy on eBay regardless of anyone's ratings. Two incidents of identity theft and seeing items that I can buy as cheap(or cheaper) from online merchants with a phone number and a live person that I can talk to, have left me with a pretty bad taste in my mouth about ebay. No offense meant to anyone here, I'm just done with them. When you've spent as much time as I have trying to solve problems caused by doing business there, you'll probably feel the same way. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />This is not generally the case, I mean rip-offs.. Cheaper, Yes, definately a lot of times but it's up to you to know WHAT you are buying, whether it is still available somewhere else, and what it should cost. But in over 1500 transactions both selling and buying, I've only had one go sour and it didn't take very long for ebay and paypal to resolve it.. Your constant ragging about it is noted and quite tiring to read in every ebay thread. Yet you offer no information about WHAT went wrong. How you got into a situation, nor what you did to try and resolve it and why you aren't satisfied with the results. If you gave your login info away to someone in a phishing email then it's your own fault for not keeping vigilant. <br /> <br />To the original poster, set a price you can live with.. Chances are you won't get your investment out of it but don't hope for action by setting a low starting price. If you only get one bid and you can live with what you get, then that's all you need. Modelrailroadforums.com has a for sale section you can also post your wares on if you don't want to chance ebay although it doesn't seem very active.. <br /> <br />Jeff <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Is that Jeff from North Hobby Dept???? <br /> <br />Mike...
