He goes off the rails at the end, but he does describe what those criminals did.

I've been using Ebay for a couple of years selling all my photo equipment, which was substantial. Before Ebay I tried a few other outlets with no luck or people just low balling me. Everything I sold on ebay i got top dollar for. The one thing I will complain about is that I was selling with no returns. If for some reason the item i sold was defective I would have no problem refunding the customer. Well on a couple of occasions, the buyer decided they wanted to return an item based on color ( pictures clearly showed the item ) changed their mind, causing me to have lost a sale to somebody else, or buyers winning the bid and never paying ( I didn't ship without payment). Ebay never took my side. The ratings on the non-payers never dropped, some staying at 100%, and I was not allowed to leave feedback for the non-payers. Ebay claimed they would put a non-payment notice on the buyer ( never happened). I'm almost done selling my stuff, only small inexpensive items left. So I've had to take the good with the bad, but without Ebay, I would still be sitting on thousands of dollars of photo equipment i no longer needed.

Good points.
I sold on eBay years ago, in spurts. Would go well until I would get the pain-in-the-but buyer, and I'd be put off for a year, then start again. Now I have some vintage stuff I'd like to sell, and don't know if there is a reasonable alternative, I think I need more than local exposure. Heathkit stuff, Robot, HO cars.
