I have used ebay.in and couple of times have also used Global Easy Buy (GEB), so my opinion is centered around ebay.in, not ebay.com. In most of the cases, Ebay just acts as an intermediary between the buyers and the sellers. The sight is fairly accessible with very little issues in my experience. Ebay offers it's services free of cost to the buyers and the buyers are protected from the sellers who do not offer good service. The buying and selling transactions are handled by a vendor called PaisaPay in India for Ebay and PaisaPay accepts all major payment modes like debit card, credit card, online bank transfer, mobile cash etc. PaisaPay services are free to the buyers, but sellers are charged some fees when anything is sold on PaisaPay. Paying through PaisaPay is always secure because: A) Seller gets paid only when the buyer confirms that he or she is in receipt of the item. B) The buyer can request the refund from the seller if the product is not delivered within the time specified or if the item is not as mentioned in the listing on Ebay. C) PaisaPay is more convenient to the seller because it accepts payment through a wide variety of choices like major bank's debit and credit cards, net banking, mobile cash etc, which the seller cannot offer on his or her own to the buyers. D) PaisaPay also offers EMI options to the buyers. Again, this is good for both sellers and buyers. Some sellers even offer other types of payment modes like cheque, DD etc, but these transactions are not guaranteed by Ebay, and the buyers are not protected in this case. Anyone can become a seller on Ebay. No initial registration chargers for the sellers, but the sellers have to pay if they want to list their sales on Ebay and if they avail other extra tools like Ebay shop etc. You will have to register yourself before you can buy or sell on Ebay, and your profile on ebay will have ratings which will increase over time when you receive feedback from the buyers who buy from you or the sellers from whom you buy. The more positive feedback ratings you get, the more you are trusted from your buyers and sellers. You can leave feedback to your seller once you have completed the transaction. This will impact his or her rating on Ebay. Before you leave a negative feedback, it is a good idea to discuss with the seller, and seller may try to make your experience more positive, but if even after that you are not satisfied, you can leave feedback as you wish.
