You need to check Ebay's terms and conditions and be very careful, lost £1800 on ebay (buying and it never arrived) and they washed their hands completely. Never got a refund, compensation, nothing.
I would be very careful if I were you. If you're selling don't forget paypal lets buyers reverse their payments, even after they receive their item from you in perfect condition. So many ways to get scammed, their whole system is flawed, full of loopholes, I got caught on that one twice. I say avoid Ebay, run.
That's strange. I had a dispute with the seller who never sent the item I bought and I got refund from ebay.
The seller has an amazing shop on eBay, hundreds of stars, very expensive items, totally legit looking. His excuse was that his ebay shop got "hacked" on a regular basis, so people who bought items got sent alternative payment details by the hackers "many times", and that was it, he never replied to emails ever again, and Ebay are impossible to deal with, I sent lots of emails, they replied once saying they would look into it and then never replied to any msgs ever again, after a few months I just gave up.
