None of this is a function of Ebay. Ebay just makes the world of commerce more accessible to joe public, so anyone can create an Ebay shop whereas they may not want to set up a formal trading facility.

I have recently bought from MPL tuningparts and Ricambi Weisse, both from Germany, both on Ebay, both provided excellent goods at a fair price.

In hundreds of Ebay transactions I have only had a disagreement with the other party on three occasions. I'd call that at a successful result.

Well Mark, I agree there are a lot of top quality ebay traders, however in any walk of life you get rogue traders, and ive experienced them myself.

you may have seen many great deals on ebay by those who havent made the effort to open retail premises and give the public a face to face service, a lot of retail businesses have suferred due to ebay. There are many people running an ebay business as a second income with no tax liability and flying 'under the tax radar'.

Fleabay is far more on the side of rogue buyers than those perveying a quality service.
Eventually there will be little left of any high streets and retailers as most business will be conducted over the internet.
enjoy your interaction with the computer
