I beg to differ.

While we surely DO hear of the eBay/Craig's List scams, think of all the auctions/sales that must transpire with both parties leaving satisfied.

I, on at least 5-10 occasions, have used Paypal or a bank transfer to pay for non-eBay goods from overseas sellers. Now I have done at least one previous eBay transaction with them, but nonetheless, I could have found myself out $700 - $1200 dollars on some of those transactions, with no recourse to get my money back.

(Of course, I know the eBay/Paypal buyer's guarantee system is a joke, and likewise offers no real recourse, but I digress.)

The sellers have always delivered the promised goods, and often gone the extra mile when items arrived broken.

YMMV
