I rarely use ebay because I have never trusted it so only use as a last resort (Vs dealing directly with a legit supplier) and only for low value items. I need a steering wheel now and plenty of options on ebay but no way I want to risk losing 3 or 4 hundred.
By the way there are 1000s of legitimate suppliers on ebay. I have found Ebay can be trusted as a place to buy. Unfortunately there are some dodgy sellers on ebay. These can be weeded out by checking their location, feedback etc and of course if a buyer uses the tools ebay provides, there is recourse to a refund if there is a problem. I have bought many things (on another account) on ebay and usually from Australian based sellers with no problems.
