Not all the time. ebay is a very good place to sell stuff, as people often look there before looking in shops, and have protection from blaggers.SensesFail said:ebay sucks (too much work to get started, lots to learn, scumbags use it, stuff like that)
If you know what you're doing (no offence meant, just like you said about learning) it can be a very profitable place to sell and buy.
People often pay more on ebay than they would in other places.
