    Depends on your market really: local, national or international?

    I personally wouldn't buy or sell off ebay ever again after how they screwed me over.

    Ebay costs money to sell, adverts dont.
    Ebay is more widely known about

    There are alot of factors to be considered.
    Try adverts for a while then try ebay tbh.

    It's a long story, but i ordered goods from a seller in Hong Kong. Paid by paypal where goods were supposed to be insured. waited patiently for just under a month, then contacted seller, then paypal, then ebay.

    Paypal refused outright to honour their insurance policy, and ebay stuck on the sellers side - not because the seller was right, but because they didn't want to help. the seller dragged on, and eventually the three months was up.

    Paypal then told me, followed by ebay soonafter that my money wouldn't have been insured anyway because they were in a different continent, yet theit insurance is nsupposed to be international, and then i found out, the sellers account is in London.

    I got mislead completely, and i'm the bigger fool for falling for it.

    The key is, once everyhting starts going downhill - to get everything in writing, and always make sure you deal with it within the three months. :)

    You said payapal dont cover stuff from another continent so would it have made a difference even with the 3 months?

    U pay from payal balance or credit card ?
    If the latter, call yer cc company and instruct a chargeback for non-receipt of goods.
    It might be too late though, I think most cc companies only handle transactions younger than 90days.

    Paypal are a bunch of gangsters.. their system is full of flaws..
    It's no wonder there are many disgruntled customers sites out there such as paypalsucks.com
