I saw the e bay thread, and I must say I have always been suspicious of buying online.
Now, I am also suspicious of SELLING online too. I'm not yet ready to expose the guilty party, but all you folks who have CD's for sale, I suggest you make it C.O.D. because otherwise you may never see your payment.

Kendall,

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. I and nearly all sellers on Ebay require payment before sending the item.

For me the frustrating thing is that occasionally the winner of the auction doesn't bother to pay. Sure I've still got the item, but I have to then go through the time consuming process of getting my Ebay fees refunded from Ebay.

That's the main reason I've stopped selling outside the U.S. and Canada. I found too many people who never bother to pay.

Bought and sold online without any disasters ....YET! Have bought a wonderful old French antique flute recently via ebay turned up well packed, just as described - well better than I was expecting in a lot of ways and a very genuine music trader. I think the trick is to really check out the buyer/seller profiles and don't part with your item if you are selling until you get the cash. Is it more of a problem with cheaper items?

I'm not talking about E Bay. I'm talking about our own forum.
