For the month of May we thought it would be interesting to see how many of you have made a purchase from the eBay auction site or another auction site, how your experience was, and if you'd like to; what you bought. Feel free to talk about good and/or bad experiences, what you've learned from buying from other people, and if you bought from another auction site what auction site you used.

All past monthly polls and results can also be found on the Computer Hope poll page.

I've made several purchases on eBay.  I've also sold many things too.  I don't remember having any problems with purchases.  I do have a hard time getting the site to work.  Firefox does not seem to agree with it.  Occasionally, I have buyers who don't read all the info and ask about stuff I've already presented to them in the listing.

I've only used ebay.

I've made purchases and sold items.  I've never experienced anything negative in all my transactions.

I bought from eBay only once, some years ago.
It was a carpet cleaning machine, and it came to me broken ;D

I've used Ebay to buy and sell mostly computer-related items.
Have been doing this under my dad's account (or, more accurately, he's been using Ebay and I've told him what I wanted then paid him).
Tomorrow I'm finally legal for Ebay and Paypal, so I'll have my own account.

Yes I have used eBay two times, selling one item and buying another. I would definitely NOT recommend it to anyone, ever.

Yeah, I just purchased for the first time from eBay.  It went alright.  I usually buy and sell on Amazon.

Perhaps a more interesting poll would be something like:

Have you purchased from eBay
- In the past month
- in ther past year
- in the past two years
- in the past 5 years

I suspect we'll see a drop off over time...

I've bought lots of new things off of EBay. I bought a rear end carrier for my trans am and a big kenwood amp which were both used but in excellent (as listed) condition. But I would still be hesitant to buy most used stuff from EBay. JMO  :)

Hong Kong - where you can get 32 GH flash drives.
LOL
I bet you could find them on Ebay too.


I haven't used Ebay myself, but I've used a similar website where I got a new 320GB External HD.

I have bought and sold quite a bit on ebay. When it works it is really good BUT. There are a lotta crooks out there who will get you if you dont watch out. And what do you do if you get ripped off? Leave bad feedback  :rofl:

Oh and paypal doesnt care either as long as they get their $$
