Ebay have got too big for their own good and that is why I have started my own web site www.mrjadejewelry.com my customers are very happy because they are dealing with a real person and not with auto reply machines.

You now have the ability to ensure bidders on your item have a valid authenticated UK PayPal account. That's just one of the options too, you can now also limit bidders to those who don't have a negative score or those who haven't received negative feedback recently. I have to hold my hand up, though eBay still isn't perfect, they are it would seem taking steps to improve the experience. It's worked so far for me, my most recent experience was a good one!

In fact it happened twice. What I didn't learn is that you can restrict bidders to people who only live in the UK and registered delivery to UK only. Once i had done this I had no problems. Bloody Scammers. Meh. I had exactly the same thing happen on Ebay when I sold a phone.

I completely agree with you Ben, too much hassle and effort to get anywhere. I'm sure in the past it was useful but in my opinion it's certainly become overrun with fraudsters.

I frankly can't be bothered making an auction to then have the hassle of telling scammers to get lost and then reporting them to ebay. Likewise I've also not choose to buy as to many of my friends have been sent pirate dvd's and software when they believed it was authentic gear being sold. To much hassle and effort to get anywhere.
