I agree, simply put Ebay is too expensive, and if you use PAYPAL you get hit twice with high charges. Sadly I still use it on occasion if no alernative can be found. Fraud is a problem particularly for expensive items and Ebay is not doing enough to remove fraudalent adverts which are usually pretty obvious in many cases--I've noticed one trick by fraudsters is to buy crap at say £1 or less a time to get a good feedback rating before selling that high end laptop at a knock down price.
