Do you eBay?

Talk about anything in here.

I have had mostly good experiences buying on eBay. I got my gamecube on there for $82.00 including shipping! And it really was in perfect condition.

Really? I got mine at a gaming store for like maybe $40.00 or something, used but still into very good condition. I think it was Game Freak or whatever the store is called. A very good deal especially because when I got mine the idea and commercials were brand new.

I sell a little, I stoped buying because the items i get shipped are always a little different than what was in the description. That got on my nerves.

But yeah, having a seller account isn't that much. It's free, you just pay anywhere from $1 up to put your listing online, and if it sells you pay like a small commission. Ok yeah, ebay sucks. They also raised the price to sell if you have an online store account with them.

eBay doesn't suck. It doesn't cost that much to list unless you start the bidding out really high or add a TON of pictures. With one picture, and a low starting bid, it's from 25 cents to 35 cents or more TO LIST. That's not a lot and you get what amounts to free advertising because a lot of people know and trust eBay.

I do buy or sell every now and again, but for some reason I REALLY don't like eBay...

I used to sell a lot. I've only bought stuff off eBay once.

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

I've bought several small things, mostly to raise my rating so I could sell more successfully. I'm currently selling one of my fantasy sculptures every week. (This is my second week; my first piece did alright!) :)

I buy usually, but sometimes sell. I've bought quite a few things from there like like anime, clothing, shoes, CD's, games, etc. I was ignorant about bootlegged anime the first time I bought anime there two years ago. But I've educated myself since and there is actually some really good deals there if you know what you're looking for.

I sold my copy of the World of Warcraft Collector's Edition for $175 too last July.
