I could swear I already replied to this...
Actually, I just recently bought a pocket watch on eBay (I cant wear a wrist watch due to carple tunnel). It should be here this week.

To bad there isnt a built in music player for this Poll - *Starts remembering Weird-Al's Ebay* 

I have used e-bay --but not often-no problems with product or any other aspect of the transaction.Only been a buyer.
I used to use another site U-Bid quite often for computer related items.However the fact of the matter is that while they purport to be an "auction" site they are far from being so.Most of their offerings have a minimum start bid price  even though they usually say "no reserve". Complaints to them on their misuse of the term "auction" have fallen on deaf ears.
I have used the "used(name of city).com sites for both buying and selling and they are great.No fees and excellent results. They cover most large north American cities.

Ebay - Where you can get $10 8gb flash drives

Where? At buy.com.  For example: SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro U3 Smart USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Ready Boost) - SDCZ6-2048-A11 

I can't recall how many times I've purchased on ebay; I'd guess at least ten times.  Most, if not all, purchases were computer-related items.  But, I haven't purchased anything on ebay for quite some time now; I can't recall the last time but it may have been over two years ago.  Once I started using online sellers like newegg.com and tigerdirect.com, ebay lost my interest.  From my perspective, I see people paying very close, if not as much, for parts on ebay as they would be for new parts from non-auction sources. Keep in mind you need to add shipping cost and look at the total cost when assessing whether or how much an ebay purchase would actually save. Some ebay sellers charge more for shipping than what non-auction sites charge.  And, when you consider the time needed to monitor activity on an item of interest and play the bidding game, you're probably spending a lot more time buying on ebay than from other sources.  And, what about warranty coverage?  In general, you probably have a better warranty situation when buying from non-auction sources.

Most, but not all, of my ebay purchases were positive experiences.  One bad case was a game I purchased on behalf of a boy who was the son of a friend.  He was not old enough to do this himself, so I offered to make the bid and purchase.  The cost was only about $10 but it was a fraud; the software was an illegal copy (a program burned onto a common-brand CD) and it simply did not work.  That seller was soon banned from ebay.

Another negative experience was the purchase of a printer cartridge (a part with the actual print head, not just ink) for an older printer.  I could not get it to work.

One situation where I'd still use ebay is for parts for older systems, where parts are hard to get from, or no longer sold by, regular retailers. 

On the seller side, I once sold a book.  I also tried to sell another book but got no bids. 

nver have never will.  Its a matter of trust an the things I want wouldnt be in good condition which is another thing.  You can change it like wiki an make it say whatever.  So I dont trust it at all.

What?  Only the person posting an item on the auction can change the content of their posting. 

Really you have to be careful about buying electronics on Ebay, but heck if the Seller has a good reputation and great feedback, then it seems good enough to trust.

you can put anything in that and not everyone questions it.

I saw someone selling their sole.  I herd about someone selling a can of mountain dew with "a special surprise" for over $70.  People also sell things that they see Jesus's face in

you can put anything in that and not everyone questions it.

put anything in what, an ebay listing?  do you mean people can list anything on ebay?  please be more specific, more precise.

I bought an SNES, several games, a gamecube and a gamecube game.

No problems so far. All was as the seller stated.
