    I've not had any real problems with it, have bought and sold, just take note of the buyers feedback - if bad don't bother - if high your normally OK as they won't want any negitive feedback.

    Excitement shall be yours as you win your first item - I gazumped someone right at the death for my first purchase, was like,"COME ONE"! :p

    i've bought loads from america/asia an have never been caught by customs...

    most of the better traders know how to make it look right to get thru customs i think... some even say that they will refund te charges if you get caught!

    All sorts - rare DVD's - game Cube games - art, you can get some great paintings at good prices etc. - household goods - mirrors - and fun stuff for birthdays etc.

    There's a real E-Bay arse bandit next to me at work who's never off it - he's just won a caravan holliday in Amble for £275.

    Sure there's the risk of gettin ripped off, but it ain't happened to me yet!:funky:

    i use it all the time
    watching a half leather recaro interior for my bmw at the moment
    IS about £80 at the moment probably get it for about £200
    new would be worth a grand
    never sold anything yet though

    the only drawback is my girlfriend knows my account details :strop:
    bids for loads of stuff :tut:
    never tells me then forgets to pay :doh:
    and then i have to sort it all out afterwards
    WOMEN !!!! :evil: :love:
