It's hard to compete with prices in Amazon, Groupon and wish. Sellers try to oversell their items and this is not helpful. When ever I go to ebay I find that the prices are over the top (even for used items most of the time), and I can get a brand new one for same or lesser price in Amazon. And Amazon replaces any defective items which ebay does not.
eBay DOES replace or refund defective items, or rather, they force the sellers to, it's called their Money Back Guarantee, so you're incorrect about that. I still find better prices here a lot of times for items than I do elsewhere, but it's often sellers from China that have them rather than domestic sellers. eBay used to have more of a "yard sale/garage sale" feel to it, but that has largely gone away with all the new rules imposed on sellers, and with the taking away of things like Dutch Auction listings and such. I used to buy inexpensive stuff on eBay simply because the experience was fun... sadly, that too has for the most part gone away. I am still here selling stuff, and I do still have pretty regular sales of the items I keep listed all the time, but the experience sure isn't the same as it used to be.
