After reading so many horror stories about scammers and refunds, mBG and so much in buyers favor I just can't bring myself to list and have let the last two lots of 100 free listings go by ,as much as I'd like to.
And now the talk of so few sales is it really worth the effort?

I agree with what others are saying, it is hard to see context on these boards sometimes. This is the place where you will hear the horror stories, and rarely hear the run of the mill experiences. But I also agree that it possibly depends what category you are listing in, no question that some things are targets for scammers.

But, I fully agree with you. At one stage, I actually had a fair amount of anxiety when I did sell an item, especially from buyers with low feedback or new accounts. If the sale was from a long term member than it would ease somewhat. Part of me being outspoken on these boards recently though is that, as agents eBay should be doing far more than they do in weeding out the scammers, and investigating fully when when a buyer opens a dispute. Yes, it would be time consuming, but surely safety is a part of what the high fees are for?
