I buy and sell on eBay
I flip post-war cards to build my pre-war collection, so I spend a lot of time buying and selling on eBay. To me eBay is streaky. I will go several weeks without buying anything and then I will find three or four great deals on the same day. Sometimes I take a risk and pay to much for an item; so the best strategy is to be patient and wait for the good deal. The few times that a seller tried to scam me, eBay stood behind me and got my money back. Overall eBay is still a great place to buy cards.
Selling on eBay is another matter. I always start my auctions at .99 with no reserve. Not many sellers do that anymore. I usually know about what my items will sell for, but sometimes I'm surprised. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but it all averages out.
If it wasn't for eBay I wouldn't have a collection, so I can't say anything bad about them.
Best regards,
Joe
