I used e-bay a whole lot a few years ago...I needed to decorate an entire floor I wanted to surprise my husband when he came back from Iraq and do a whole Dallas Cowboys thing in the den and the associated rooms. I got all of it - Dallas Cowboys light fixtures / street sign / pillows / shower curtain / wall clock / bar / football soap dish..lots of stuff - all via e-bay. Saved a shitload of $ that way. I also did Sponge Bob and then Cars for my son's bathroom...e-bay was a good source because I could get new items on the cheap. It cost under $50 each time he wanted to change his bathroom.
I was a good e-bayer too: I paid right away & left honest feedback every time.
The single bad experience I had was with that coca cola flatware set I tried to send as a gift. ANd ya'll can mock - but I felt bad about that. (The thing is I am careful. I never buy from someone with too many complaints or a low rating...so I don't get why that happened.)
One semi bad experience was with an item I paid for which I did not receive. Since I used pay pal, I filed a compliant through them & then got my money back in 30 days. So, I really don't see that as 100% "bad". I think it's better to not receive something because the complaint process seems more daunting when you get the item and it sucks.
I'm a purse & shoe freak and I see all the tempting e-bay purses....but for designer items like Coach, Dooney & Burke, or Louis Vuitton, I go to the actual stores so I know I'm getting an authentic item. Other than that, I think e-bay is fine *as long as you use pay pal.
