I sure don't understand why, Dan. I joined eBay in 2001, and have made countless transactions .... both O and HO, including some expensive stuff, and lots and lots of non-train items, too.
Completely happy with eBay. Couple of hiccups along the way were promptly resolved. The biggest problem I ever had was of my own making, as the seller of a new, expensive (for HO) Y6b steam engine, that I accidently misrepresented. The buyer and I ended up becoming long distance train buddies, as I corrected the problem with him.
eBay is a valuable and irreplaceable resource.
Speaking of long distance buddies, I sold a couple of items to a fellow in Australia, maybe ten years ago. We're still communicating regularly.
