You're just not doing your homework on the seller. I've made over 200 transactions on ebay and have NEVER lost any money. One time I didn't receive my item, and ebay (paypal) refunded my money almost immediatly.
I know a bunch of sellers who have their cousin or friend bid on items if the selling prices are too low late in the auction cycle. This is just blatant fraud and what is the point of having an auction if there isn't much chance of getting a bargain?
By asking someone to explain a totally vague statement? It seems that actually going beyond not thinking into the realm of thinking still pesters you.
Since you're not going to expand on any of the retarded comments you've made I'm going to post this loop of you dancing twinkie fucker:
eBay brought liquidity to previously very sparse/thin markets. While it's never good to mistreat any stakeholders/participants, until someone else can start to match the breadth of their offerings - they have the mkt locked up. Why would you ever list an item somewhere where you may not even get a bid when you can get people competing for your product? R
