I think the only other adage that I haven't seen mentioned above is "SOLD AS IS - NO RETURNS."  That one is sure to inspire confidence about the item that's listed.

For those familiar with Ebay and its procedures, this language means little, because Ebay allows items to be returned in many circumstances, regardless of what the seller may say in his ad.

Everyone here thinks mostly of possible issues for the buyer, and warns against seller problems. However, having sold many items on the Bay over the years, there are definitely two sides to that story. The buyer's side contains its share of weasels operating out there as well!

That said, transactions on Ebay have been just fine overall in my experience. Someone above referred to buying on Ebay as a "crap shoot." I have not found that at all. I haven't keep track, but I know well over 90% of what I've bought has been just fine, and sellers very cooperative. And it's easy to return things that aren't right (including reimbursement for return shipping cost). I don't have any hesitations about buying on the Bay, although, I suppose like everything else, experience helps. Frankly, I don't think my percentage buying on the Forum Buy/Sell has been nearly as good.
