Bravo Evan.....while there are definitely some issues Ebay could deal with better, I have had some wonderful experiences. My daughter, turning 12 tomorrow, and I collect Disney pins and Beatles memorabilia. We log on all the time "together" and have a blast finding just the right pin or some Beatles item that we have never seen before. As a seller, I deal daily with the downside of Ebay. However, I remember that Ebay has opened avenues of customers for me that I would otherwise not have. Not only have I developed a huge customer base, but have made some very nice "collector" friends along the way. So, for me, the good outweighs the annoying. I haven't found anything in life yet that is perfect!

So we logged onto eBay found a lot of 10 books closing in a couple of hours. We put in a bid and won (10 books for $11 + $7 shipping) !! I clicked on the the paypal button and about 30 seconds later money transferred from the bank account (yes, my bank account) to someone, somewhere out in the ether. Yesterday, a box arrived with my books arrived and I left positive feedback for the seller. That was awful!!! eBay and paypal totally suck.
