You are entitled to your opinion. But, it's just like the news. You rarely hear about anything good on the news. People only want to hear the bad. Between my wife and I, we have over 800 eBay transactions, There have only been 3 minor inconveniences in those 800+ transactions. I have always been cautious in my on-line dealings, and I have never been outright screwed over. Maybe it has more to do with due diligence than it does luck. Hmmmm....
