Good point, if I had to dissuade people with eBay, it'd be to try to tell them what a nightmare selling can be.
Almost all of my bad experiences with eBay have been as a seller. People really think that, for example, a 60+ year old book should be as new in condition as something they could buy at the local new bookstore yesterday.
I've had my share of buyer's remorse for items I've sold, too. They got into a bidding war, paid more than they should have, then later claim the item isn't what you said it was, because they probably feel stupid for bidding so much. That's happened a few times on items I've sold...
