Alright, lets open this can of worms.
First, ebay typically sides with the buyer w/ or w/o proof and there are TONS of circumstances that can to the seller getting absolutely screwed. Second, fees are pretty high. Third, they own paypal monopolizing certain payment aspects of the "game". Their customer service is horrible, they intermittently follow thru with what they say and its turned into more of a BIN museum than an actual auction. Seventh, they will allow proven frauds back on ebay. Here is a good example of the wonderful world of ebay recently:

Eight, their feedback system is so watered down at this point it has become irrelevant. Nine, when they do change the rules we usually have to consult one of the many lawyers on this board to decipher like this:

Ten, fu&%ing shilling! I do use ebay, but carefully and never a big ticket item, absolutely never b/c I work too hard dealing with bullshit at work to watch my money float away from ebays bullshit, ie policies. There, a nice round number for ya.
