I've never sold on Ebay, but have bought many hundreds of times, and continue to do so. Mostly for uncommon or one-off collector items for which there are few other options (banknotes, meteorites, fossils, carnivorous plants) and for computer supplies-- I can get spindles of DVDs, cables, and many components for less-- shipping included-- than I would pay locally or from most commercial web sites. Even household items-- in the last year I've bought fuses, stove elements, watch batteries, and a cell phone battery (just off the top of my head) far cheaper than I could have picked them up anywhere else. An order of magnitude cheaper for the cell phone battery (over $30 for the branded battery-- under $4 including shipping for the Ebay generic.)
