I have sold approx 1500 items in the last year and have had no problems at all. I have also purchased many items in the last year with no issues. eBay have a pretty good system going to prevent problems. If something does go wrong with a transaction you can usually resolve it or get a refund. Sellers cannot leave negative feedback on buyers and sellers are severely penalised for poor feedback ot low detailed seller ratings.
Its easy enough to check a sellers feedback before purchasing. I wouldnt have too many concerns about buying on eBay.

If it ain't being auctioned by Bruce or Heritage, I don't think I want to take the risk. It sounds like buying posters on ebay is like walking across a mind field and crossing your fingers. -----Original Message----- From: John Waldman <jhnwald...@yahoo.com> To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sun, Sep 6, 2009 9:03 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] fraudulent seller alert regarding realart Parktheater is the same seller that informed me that the '60's Dracula 1 sheet I won on Ebay from him had been destroyed in a car wreck. And that I would have to wait for a refund until the insurance money came in. He was using a different Ebay name then and took Paypal, so I filed with Paypal and got my money back. Notice that the Dracula 1 sht is on his list for sale. What a jerk.

Most every one involves the ordering of material which then goes mysteriously missing after the money has been sent, and refunds have been very slow to make their way back to the purchaser. Let’s hope he turns this back around quickly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: MoPo List [mailto:mop...@listserv.american.edu] On Behalf Of allen day Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 11:29 AM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] fraudulent seller alert regarding realart Howdy y'all, Back in June, I attempted to purchase a 1sh from a seller on everbodys' fav website (bayster) ... and the (non)transaction became an exercise / refresher course in dealing with buttheads.
