Your experience speaks volumes and explains why sellers such as myself don't bother with it either - no customers ! Is it any wonder it's spiralling downward ? Regards Rod Hi Keith

I have to state that I have had a 30% rip off rate with my purchases from ebay sellers, this includes both private and then dealer (pawnshops I think). I have since quit deal on Ebay completely. Too many liars there. Craigs list is a far better way to go. At least there you can choose the local and if its a big ticket item you can go and see it. Hello All.

With regard to 'real' auctions, and to be blatantly honest - do we know of any auction that DOES NOT have a ring operating? Honour is an interesting term for operating a ring, especially given that it is illegal!
