I've been shopping at EBay since 1998 (should have bought the stock!), and I've never, not once, had a negative experience with sellers- and I use PayPal every time. The beauty of the internet- there is choice. EBay may suffer in the short term from lack of PR and "negative buzz." Yet they will probably be around long after I am gone. I think some of the sellers expect too much- they want it all, and are quick to blame EBay once they become successful. But just move on! EBay is there for those who choose to grow their business with the EBay model. A mature business may be better served by standing on their own and seeking alternatives. Either way, there is room for choice with other companies. Happy Holidays!
